From the reviews
One of the best martial arts schools I have ever been to. Coach Lee is very knowledgeable and experienced in the field. no matter what level you are at this is the place to keep improving or just start your journey. It is very family oriented and truly a judgment free zone.
Amazing gym, both here and the Chino location. 100% would recommend for everyone, no matter if you are just starting out and want to get in better shape or if you are a fighter trying to compete. All of the coaches here are very knowledgeable and highly qualified. The environment is also very welcoming.
Vital Force is located in the heart of Corona - coming in to Vital Force, the first you will notice is the well spaced facility, with two large mats and a full boxing ring. The instructors are kind and gentle in teaching, they seem to have put in serious time mastering the actual craft of Muay Thai/MMA.
Been training in this gym for almost 6 months but wish it was 6 years because the experience has been GREAT. Working with Coach Lee and the other Coaches I feel like part of a family and improving my skills and confidence in these Martial Arts. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great experience.
New to muay thai? Start at Vital Force Muay Thai & MMA
Vital Force Muay Thai & MMA 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 Vital Force Muay Thai & MMA
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.
