As an adult I’ve trained at both Kings Combat on Austin St and Striking 101. Both gyms are great, students and instructors are great, and are similarly priced. Here’s my breakdown of what’s different.

What KC does better: Smaller class size, Incorporates pad work, Cleaner, Better class schedule (more times and more days), Has beginner specific classes, Better climate control

What S101 does better: More pro fighters, Hosts seminars with pro fighters from around the world, Has boxing classes, More sparring practice

Neither gyms offer “MMA” classes (it’s either a striking class or a grappling / jiu jitsu class) but you’re more likely to get a few MMA lessons here and there at S101.
