What students say about us

Meliton Torres

Started taking classes at WCCC a few months ago and I have really seen a difference. Ive lost a few pounds and coach JJ has really gone out of his way to make me feel welcome and comfortable. I was worried starting at a kickboxing gym would be intimidating; everyone is disciplined but very nice and inclusive. Glad to be a part of West Coast Combat Center, I would recommend to anyone looking to get into shape!

Sonia Pulido

Coach JJ is such an amazing trainer he’s caring, fun, and respectful. As someone who was very afraid to train in a boxing gym he made me feel welcome from day 1. He also makes sure to teach you appropriate techniques and asks for consent before adjusting any forms. I’ve brought several of my friends here and none of us have regretted any of the classes.

Ted Reiterman

Visited LA for a week and took a number of classes at the gym. The owner was flexible to allow us a weekly pass. The classes were great, the coach had a ton of experience and was professional, enthusiastic and motivating. The other participants had a mix of experience, some had been doing martial arts for years (and were training for competitions), some were just starting out, some were just trying something new. I had years of boxing experience (including competitions), but wanted to learn some kicks and just break a sweat. It was a great experience. I'd definitely go back again.

I've been training at West Coast Combat Center for years, its a great place. Coach JJ is a professional kickboxer and Muay Thai fighter and really brings his expertise to the classes and provides world-class instruction. I always feel welcomed and motivated coming here, classes are challenging but we are encouraged to move at our own individual pace. (i'm not always in the best shape when I show up!) I don't have kids but they have kids classes too!

Jared Reser

This is a great gym and I highly recommend it. Jermaine Soto is an excellent coach, a current professional fighter, and an instructor who not only gets people into top shape, but he trains them to be very effective at combat. He is: 1) very knowledgeable, 2) highly skilled, 3) friendly and personable, 4) dedicated to helping you make progress. West Coast Combat Center has all of the right equipment, and Jermaine uses it creatively ensuring that each training session is different. I drive 15 miles 3 times per week just to train here. If you want an atmosphere of camaraderie, and you want to build strength, balance, coordination and speed this is the place to go.
