Had the pleasure of dropping in while in town for work, everyone at New Breed was incredibly welcoming and kind, great rounds with everyone. I’ve been fortunate enough to train at some of the top gyms in the country, and New Breed is right up there with them.

I have been training on and off at newbreed since 2006. I've seen people come and go, some have been constant. It's a great training environment and the instructors are solid. Compared to other schools style of jiu jitsu, newbreed holds its own.
I recently had the pleasure to train at New Breed while visiting Cali and I have to say what a phenomenal academy this place is. I am so happy my friend introduced me to this gym. Professor Johnny and the New Breed family were all so welcoming and enthusiastic about teaching.
New to taekwondo? Start at New Breed Mixed Martial Arts & Fitness
New Breed Mixed Martial Arts & Fitness 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 New Breed Mixed Martial Arts & Fitness
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.
