It's a good place for kids to go to hangout after school so they can stay out of trouble. But, as far as going to a gym as a beginner and trying to have to coach build you up as a fighter, this isn't the best gym. They do have some high level young fighters, but most of the kids say they have no interest in competing. Most of kids who 'train' there, just like hangout (Which I don't see as a problem). The coach barely had time to work with me, even when I would ask help he would ignore me. Also if you're an adult, the environment is somewhat awkward at first. Mainly just bc you stand out since it's mainly youngsters there. I went there for a month and everybody who trained there was either under 18 or ever 40 (parents trying to workout with their kids). Later on it does get more comfortable working around them though. If what you're looking for is a kids club environment, this is the place for you. But if you are new to boxing and want to have one on one time with a very knowledgeable and experienced coach that actually cares about seeing you succeed, go to a different gym in Stockton. I joined a different gym and within a month, I'm already getting good sparring work with a pro fighter.
