From the reviews

I've done walking, running, treadmill, lifting, zumba, etc. Those were all boring and repetitious after the first couple of times. But THIS (!!!!!) is an amazing place. I've joined for the Muay Thai classes and i absolutely love coming every chance i get.

The best place in Bakersfield to train for Muay Thai. I trained there for about 2 years before I moved. The instructors are excellent. If you are having trouble learning something they will take the time to work with you so you can properly learn technique.

Your first BJJ class at Eric Nolan's Xtreme Training Center

Nervous about walking into a BJJ 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 basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, 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.

BJJ is a contact sport. Ease in, tap early and often, 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.
