Beginner Friendly Inclusive Ego Free
Kickboxing and Muay Thai in Vancouver Since 1999
More Than a Gym—We’re a Community
At Westside Kickboxing, we’re incredibly proud of the inclusive, supportive, and ego-free environment we’ve built. Here, you’re never just another face in the crowd. Our coaches take the time to get to know you—your name, your goals, and what you need to thrive.
We’re a small, tight-knit community where everyone lifts each other up. We celebrate progress together, push each other to grow, and always treat each other with respect and dignity. Whether you’re here to get fit, learn new skills, or chase big goals, you’ll have a team beside you every step of the way.

THERE ARE NO STRANGERS HERE, ONLY FRIENDS YOU HAVEN’T MET YET!
Learn Kickboxing and Muay Thai in a Safe, Supportive, and Fun Environment!
Whether you’re just starting out or looking to level up your skills, you’ll learn how to punch, kick, knee, and elbow with proper technique and confidence. We teach ring-tested combinations and emphasize strong fundamentals—because great technique leads to speed and power, not the other way around. Our focus is always on helping you move with balance, precision, and purpose.
And don’t worry—we haven’t forgotten about defense! You’ll hear us say it all the time: “Defense wins championships!” You’ll practice blocking, evading, and counter-striking, so you can land your shots while protecting yourself.
Classes are hands-on and partner-focused. You’ll hit pads and mitts, work the heavy bag, and drill both offense and defense in a fun and encouraging atmosphere. As you progress into our Intermediate and Advanced classes, you’ll have the option to spar—but only if you want to. Sparring is never mandatory.
Our goal is simple: help you learn, grow, and push past your comfort zone. Whether you ever step into a ring or not, you’ll feel like a champion every step of the way.
Get Ready for the Best Workout of Your Life!
Kickboxing and Muay Thai aren’t just exciting—they’re powerful ways to get fit, build strength, tone your muscles, and shed stress (and a few pounds along the way!). But unlike typical cardio boxing or cardio kickboxing classes, we go beyond just getting you to sweat—we teach you how to punch, kick, knee, and elbow the right way.
You’ll get an incredible, high-energy workout and real skill development at the same time. We’re all about helping you push yourself, but not at the expense of learning proper technique. Great training means more than just burning calories—it means building confidence in your movement and mastering each strike.
And the benefits don’t stop at the physical. Kickboxing and Muay Thai are amazing for your mind, too. Hitting pads is a powerful stress reliever, and as your body grows stronger, so does your confidence. All of this happens in a welcoming, supportive, and ego-free environment where everyone is here to help each other grow—no judgment, just good vibes.

I’ve been training here for over 2 years and it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The fitness improvement is undeniable, but also mentally I feel a lot more clear. The classes are structured in such a way that there is always something new to learn and improve upon, which always keeps it interesting. The community is amazing. Highly recommend this gym to people of all levels

I've been training here for a nearly 3 years now and it's been great. I had no experience with martial arts prior to joining the gym and I could never have guessed how much i'd enjoy the learning process. Rey is an extremely dedicated coach and knows how to get the best out of you. Can't recommend this gym enough!
