From the reviews
This place is life changing. Even after working hard all day I still look forward to going and training with my team mates after work. The instructors are one of a kind and care about the students like family. Regardless of your level of fitness, 208 can help anyone enjoy a more healthy and active lifestyle.
I wasn't looking for a gym or even to start training Jiu Jitsu or kickboxing but from the moment I started I was hooked! What makes the experience even better is the wonderful coaches and teammates. Coach Shane and Karina both take the time to really make sure that you're getting the most out of your training.
I'm a new student at 208 Jiu Jitsu and also new to BJJ, and I absolutely love this school. A friend and co-worker suggested I try it and I was hooked my first day. It is a fun and friendly training environment but also challenging and tough, I learn something new each day.
I've been training BJJ for over 3 years and I travel all over the country. While traveling the country, I visit a lot of different BJJ schools and let me tell you, this is an awesome school to train at. The instructor is what you should be looking for - friendly, patient and knowledgeable.
New to taekwondo? Start at Boise Combat Sports
Boise Combat Sports comes up as a beginner-friendly school, going by their listing and students’ reviews. If you've never trained or set foot in a dojang, 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 or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and instructors scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable schools build fundamentals (stances, blocks, kicks, and basic forms) for weeks, sparring eases in gradually and with gear on, and instructors keep it controlled and safe. Third, all ages and 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 schools are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first taekwondo class at Boise Combat Sports
Nervous about walking into a taekwondo school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors 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 stances, blocks, and kicks with a partner or on pads — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: loose athletic wear you can move in (or a dobok if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the floor. What to bring: water and a positive attitude — many schools lend a loaner dobok for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll get your own dobok and belt, and sparring gear (mouthguard, headgear, and guards) once you begin sparring. Sparring eases in gradually, once your fundamentals and forms are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
