From the reviews

“Amazing Kickboxing Classes—Highly Recommend!" I’ve been attending kickboxing classes at Udar for about 4 months, and I couldn't be happier with my experience! The place is spacious, giving everyone plenty of room to train comfortably.

★★★★★ — Blanca, Mar 2025

I joined Udar after taking a 2 year hiatus from kickboxing since the pandemic. I often feel a lot of anxiety in gyms, but I immediately fell back in love with the sport after joining this gym.

★★★★★ — Kellie, Mar 2023

I would like to say that I love coming to Udar for kickboxing. Everyone is very friendly and makes you feel like you are part of a family. The instructors are friendly and very knowledgeable as well. They know how to show everyone how to train even if they don’t have much experience beforehand.

★★★★★ — Chris, Mar 2023

If you are a big fan of tough love, being push to be faster, better, stronger ( mentally & physically) then UDAR kickboxing is for you! Instructors are always high energy and motivating. The class is intense, exhausting, technical and fun.

New to muay thai? Start at UDAR Kickboxing

UDAR Kickboxing comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.

Your first muay thai class at UDAR Kickboxing

Nervous about walking into a muay thai gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Muay thai is a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
