What members say
“Our family moved away from Menlo Park this past month, and I knew I needed to update my review to reflect my experience here.”
“In addition to the super practical and quite simple techniques, these are a great bunch of guys and gals.”
“My favorite part was getting opportunities during the 2hr workshop to put it together in assault simulation, find my inner tiger, and fight back.”
“If you are interested in learning actual self defense strategies separate from traditional martial arts - this is your place.”
“They hosted a free 2hr women's self defense seminar at my local library and it was super helpful.”
“This place is focused on real life and how those arts come together with actual common sense for dealing with potential situations.”
From the reviews
In a typical Urban Combat class, you will warm up for 30 minutes with a tabata or interval training, followed possibly by punching drills with thai pads and/or focus mitts with a partner. You'll then work on other drills such as take downs, ground grappling, grabs/holds with partners.
Our family moved away from Menlo Park this past month, and I knew I needed to update my review to reflect my experience here. For 8 months I've trained at Urban Combat, and not only can I say that the instruction is stellar, but the people have become like family to me.
Seriously, ladies, take this class. Brian will teach you the basics that EVERY WOMAN NEEDS TO KNOW. We should have learned this stuff when we were five years old, but it's never too late. I took a class with some girl friends today and it's some of the best $ I've ever spent. Just $45 for two hours.
I've been training here for 6 years and I still look forward to each class. Ive done martial arts my whole life (Karate, Boxing, BJJ) and none of them are like Urban Combat. This place is focused on real life and how those arts come together with actual common sense for dealing with potential situations.
Your first muay thai class at Urban Combat Reality Based Self Defense
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.
