I met Martin (Agoura Boxing's owner) years ago, when he was the boxing coach at Golds Gym and when…read morehe had more hair. (Sorry mate). A short time after he finally started his own place I had to follow. Agoura Boxing caters to all levels and ages, whether you are training for Golden Gloves or if you just want to shed the last 5lbs, this is the place for you. For the beginner, this is a "real" boxing gym with all the tried and true tools of the trade, speed bags, double ended speed bags, heavy bags, mitt work and the jump ropes. They have loaner gloves for you to use, but I highly recommend you buy your own equipment. There is no shortage of experienced and knowledgable coaches all under the watchful eye of Martin. You'll find that there's a community feeling, with an ever expending group of members. Older members are always open to sharing the knowledge base and contribute to your learning and work out experience. New members are made to feel welcomed, you won't be thrown in at the deep end, you won't be lost in the shuffle. There is never the pressure to train beyond your abilities but that doesn't mean you won't get the work out of your life. For the experienced boxer, MMA fighter or BJJ practitioner, this is a place to visit. Come be part of the team, or just pop in to train, get to know other local up and comers and stick around for open sparing.

Us coaches take pride in our new location being attentive to all needs and strive to better our…read morecoaching skills as our students get better. A family and fighting environment where everyone works together and is willing to help one another. Don't be afraid to ask questions, we are your guidance here at 805-MMA

Ive been training in JuJitsu with Chris DePalma for many years and have learned quite a lot in that…read moretime. Now he has his own school with other instructors that teach Muy Thai and straight Brazilian JuJitsu so if you want to add some other aspects to your game they have it covered. Its a very low key, friendly atmosphere and you don't have to worry about dealing with the next wanna be cage fighter types. They will tailor the training to your skill level even if you are in the same class with more advanced students. And if you do have some training under your belt you will definitely learn some more. They also offer kids classes as well if you want to get the kids involved.

After over 40 years as a martial artist, and eight years as a martial arts instructor, I am honored…read moreto say that I have found Christopher DePalma to be an exceptional martial artist and teacher. His long list of qualities includes--what is most important to me--respect and compassion for humanity. He truly cares about people. He is a soul who is wise, well beyond his years. I have found him to possess highly impressive martial arts skills and teaching methods, as well as a high level of sophistication in the additional spheres of psychology, personal growth, and business. I have seen Sensei DePalma utilize his superior martial arts instruction as a vehicle to maximize the benefits for his students in as many aspects of their lives as possible. That's just who this man is. With great humility he supports others in raising their quality of life. I couldn't recommend Sensei Christopher DePalma more highly. I personally trained with him for several years, and look forward to working with him again. In my view, anyone fortunate enough to learn from this master will be impacted for life.
