AMC Kickboxing & Pankration

Absolutely One of the top 10 Best places to Train in the world!

Best gym in the Pacific Northwest and possibly the whole world.

This gym is a great place to have fun, get into shape, and learn the basics of the various martial arts that are taught here. However if you are looking for something more serious then don’t waste your time. There are no avenues for competition at this gym. Also sparring is only done once a week and it’s not very good sparring either. If you have any interest in boxing whatsoever then steer clear of AMC as well. They have no speed bag, double end bag, slip bag, etc. The gym is geared toward kickboxing and grappling more so just MMA in general.

Unparalleled boxing classes with excellent instruction. Gym is a little dirty, and there is merit to others negative comments about bully coaches and cliques, But still the best place around for mma training.

I came in 20 yrs ago and this is where my journey started. I left. And journied around a bit to come back. In all honesty I wish I would have never left. After trying other facilities, I realized why it turns out some of the best in the industry.nnIt’s the Ivy League of martial arts facilities disguised as a small little hole in the wall from the outside. It’s unsuspecting and as a female in martial arts, there isn’t a safer place for me to go. I feel safe and protected which is huge.nnThe coaches.... kind, caring, patient. Even with big names like DJ aka Mighty Mouse or Matt Hume and more these guys are so down to earth.nnThe coaches are bar none. There isn’t a lot of tolerance for arrogance and showboating. You’re either going to do the work or you’re gonna find out real quick what it’s like not to.nnTheir operations team is amazing. When I was scared to death about my son getting bullied and wanted him to learn some self defense, Christina worked with me to get my kids involved into all the classes including boxing and kickboxing.nnIn a pool of adults in these classes, my kids come in with me and get just as much attention if not more to work on their technique.nnTemperance, their operations manager is so sweet it helped make my kids feel welcomed. And if you don’t know how important that is, try enrolling an introvert tween girl and see how willing she is to learn jiu jitsu. Tough as nails, but the devil are in the details. From front of the house to back of the house no details are overlooked.nnOh and a plug for their 1:1, I’m a lucky girl to get to work with Greg. He is effing amazing. I work him twice a week and have improved my skills while getting some real life knowledge in the process. This guy is so passionate about what he does and it shows. He’s super OCD about the details and pays attention to everything.nnMatt and Christina created and foster such a strong positive environment at AMC. I love the lifelong friends I’ve made here. I’m so grateful that they take everything seriously. Kids are welcomed, women are welcomed it just looks intimidating, but if you can get past the crazy high level sparring partners and see that at any level this place is so amazing.nnAnd no this is not where you go to, to pretend... so if you’re looking for commercially ran classes that run people just to increase your heart rate without proper foundations-don’t come here. ud83eudd4aud83eudd3c‍♀ufe0f
