It's one of the only Olympic style taekwondo schools in northern Nevada and their curriculum reflects it. Practices focus on belt level forms, kicks, sparring, and self defense. The community here is incredibly welcoming and a great place for kids to learn discipline, stay active, and make friends! First Taekwondo actively participates in northern and southern California tournaments and consistently places gold. Master Tanner has practice Taekwondo for over 30 years. He's passionate about his work and really cares for the kids and adults. He's also the coach for Nevada Taekwondo which is UNR's team. He has a team of black belts that teach as well, together they keep the classes unique and interesting so classes stay fresh. It's a fun and competitive environment and I can't recommend it more!

I took a kickboxing class here with Linda -- what a workout! She really leads a good class, and is…read morefun and encouraging. The music playlist is really enjoyable. We do a variety of things, from punching and hitting the heavy bag to exercising with weights. She mixes it up every class to keep us from getting bored.

There are tables and stools in the lobby if you have to wait for a loved one to finish class.

I was visiting South Tahoe for vacation and finally decided to train at Escobar Training Grounds (I…read morehad looked them up during previous trips but didn't have the time to train). I called the night before and the receptionist was very friendly and answered all of my questions regarding classes and pricing. I took 3 days of the morning 9:30 am kickboxing class and loved each day! I arrived early the first day to fill out a waiver form and to pay the drop-in fee (plus to get an idea of the gym protocols and layout). Coach Cory met me and gave me a tour of the gym which is very spacious with a full ring, multiple heavy bags, a speed bag, BJJ mat, and the open mat area (where kickboxing classes are held). Lots of area to store your gear - cubicles vs lockers - and clean bathrooms and changing areas. As for the class, it is beginner-friendly (there was a guy there who has only trained for a week) but also great for intermediate and seasoned martial artists. I have trained in Muay Thai for 18 months at a Bay Area gym (American kickboxing is different yet I felt completely safe and welcome at ETG). I was the solo female each day and each of my training partners (from the new student to the competitive fighters) were respectful (ie no huge egos or machismo which I have experienced at other gyms; worked at my level but still challenged me; did not go full power but increased it if I encouraged them to; no crazy bruises or injuries that I have gotten from other "overzealous" training partners at other gyms) and very patient (I had to learn each person's rhythm and flow with their combos and also new kickboxing techniques but I never felt rushed/judged). The best part: they were genuinely friendly - said hi to me and welcomed me to the gym; chatted with me and gave me some great recommendations for food and sight seeing; and even remembered my name each day. Ladies, do not be intimidated to try this gym out - it is a safe and welcoming environment and each of the guys especially Coach Cory will watch out for you! The only heads up: you will get the most out of your training here if you know how to hold Thai pads. if you've never used them, don't worry - Coach and the guys can teach you as you train. The class is NOT a fitness/dance cardio kickboxing type class (ie high energy music with everyone throwing the same combos and/or kicks that are choreographed) - it's legit martial arts training. You will learn attacking combos, defensive moves, and will train punches, kicks, teeps, and knees. The catch: you call out combos as a pad holder for your partner for an entire round and you rotate partners; then you switch to being the "attacker". I had a blast learning new punch combos and fakes that I haven't learned in Muay Thai. Very fun because you work mentally and physically! And, ladies, this type of training is self-defense - yes, you'll get in crazy good shape BUT more importantly, you'll learn how to punch and kick properly and effectively to protect yourself if need be! Thank you again to Coach Cory and the 9:30 am kickboxing crew! I can't wait to train with you guys again the next time I'm in Tahoe!

As a parent, I am extremely disturbed by what my 13-year-old daughter experienced during her visit…read moreto UFC Gym Reno. She attended one class with a friend who is a member. During that visit, one of the coaches, Javi, made comments that were completely inappropriate for an adult in a position of trust. He told my daughter she "fights like a ghetto Black girl," which is an unacceptable and offensive remark to make to any child. He then had my 13-year-old daughter call me on the phone. During that interaction, he asked her to show him my social media pictures and told her he wanted me to have his babies. I have never met this man in my life. When I gave him no attention, he reportedly told my daughter, "Tell her never mind. She looks like she's an attention-seeking mother." I cannot understand why an adult coach would involve a minor in a personal conversation about her mother or make comments like these to a child. Coaches are supposed to mentor, encourage, and create a safe environment not put children in the middle of inappropriate personal interactions. I sincerely hope UFC Gym Reno takes this complaint seriously and investigates what happened. Parents should be able to trust that their children are in a safe, respectful, and professional environment.

This studio is huge!!! I started coming here from an old kickboxing studio that transitioned to…read morethis current business--kickboxing AND taekwon-do! The vibe in this studio is so much more different in comparison to the old studio but I still like it. The workout although it doesn't involve a lot of cardio (jogging or running around the studio, jumping jacks, etc), feels intense because it concentrates a lot more with strength training. This week was my first day back since they transitioned mid last year and man, I feel SORE!!! My work had a lot of restrictions on what we can do as outside activities due to pandemic so I skipped moooonths of gym/studios. It was definitely great to be back and finally try out this new studio. There is PLENTY of space for social distancing, and each classes are limited to 20 people. The owner/instructor is a 5th Degree Black Belt that studied Taekwon-Do, BJJ / Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, and Kickboxing so rest assured you're going to get an excellent HYBRID workout! The schedule consist mainly of kickboxing which it transitioned from the old studio, and taekwon-do classes couple of nights a week! The classes are also ALL ages (from 8-12 and above) so you can even take your kids or young teens to work out with you! Their rate is reasonable and I believe it is great value for what you'll be receiving even if you're only able to attend twice week--but why only twice a week!?? I'm currently on nights so my schedule is limited to once or twice a week but when I return to days I can't wait to attend at least three times a week!!! The customer service is AWESOME!!! I got taken care of--with lots of love--with anything I needed from transitioning from my old studio membership to getting proper guidance during workout.
