From the reviews
USKO has become family to us! My daughter has been training with the best at USKO for a little more than 3 years now and we have had nothing but the best experience and the best coaches and professors out there!
It's a very welcoming community. The school is very clean and organized. The professors and coaches are knowledgeable, very professional, and patient with the students. They are able to adjust to make sure the students grasp the technique being taught.
Brought my son here to try out jiu jitsu & ended up trying the kick boxing as well & he’s really enjoying both! The instructors are really friendly & good with the kids. Toward the end of class they incorporate games which I think is super great because the kids have a lot of fun.
With over 30 years experience with USKO, all I can say is the instructors, classmates, facilities and everything about the organization is top notch. I would give it 6 Stars if I could. I highly recommend training here and making it part of your entire families life style.
New to muay thai? Start at USKO Training - Orange
USKO Training - Orange 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 USKO Training - Orange
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.
