I took my son here for a day session about four months ago. I make it a habit to visit a different gym every Saturday to see what’s out there, and this place really stood out. It captures the authentic, gritty feel of a true boxing gym—reminding me of the classic spots I've seen in Mexico, Argentina, and Brazil. The trainer was incredibly welcoming and respectful. If you're looking for a genuine boxing experience, I can't recommend this place enough. Take it from an old-timer who knows his way around the ring.
Everything about Jaguares Ecole de Combat is fantastic. The trainers, the space and even the students. Let me start by saying how much I HATE exercise and every about it. I never understood the “push”, never felt that rush from working out, never liked any of it. Then one day I woke up with perimenopausal rage and I knew I needed to do something. Hitting things seemed like a good idea. I called Alex and told him I wanted private lessons and that I hated everything to do with exercise. He was smooth and encouraging. I was skeptical at first so I went to check out the location in person, before making any decisions. The space is big and bright and doesn’t feel like an overly oppressive gym. There’s the appropriate amount of exercise equipment, punching bags and of course, a ring. Alex greeted us with a smile and was happy to show me around. I signed up immediately. Alex himself proved to be a great teacher who understands that each and every person has different needs when it comes to learning and he’s great at adapting. They have various group classes as well which are tailored to every skill level. I just took a kick boxing class and was surprised at how welcoming everyone was. The classes are also at various times through-out the week to accomodate schedules. I love it so much that everytime there's a girls day activity that I plan, I take my friends boxing. EVERYONE loves it. Bottom line, Jaguares Ecole de Combat is a great place to learn not matter if you want to be the next best boxer, bring up your cardio, or just release some perimenopausal rage. Highly recommend.
Alexander runs a great all levels class on Saturdays. It’s a good mix of theory and partner work. Its a better way to learn than just drills drills drills at other gyms!
I’ve been training with Coach Alex for years and wouldn’t have it any other way. He’s created something truly special with this gym — welcoming, family-oriented, and supportive. His coaching style pushes you to improve while keeping it motivating and fun. Easily the best place to train!
It’s an excellent boxing gym. I agree with all the other 5-star reviews. My two cents: 1. My defense has improved significantly, which makes sparring much more comfortable — big thanks to the coaches for that. 2. They have a dedicated day (Wednesday) for sparring techniques, with one class for beginners/intermediate and another for intermediate/advanced. This setup helps you transition into full sparring much faster — I think that dedicated day is a great find.
