Carlsbad Kickboxing Club

History

Carlsbad Kickboxing Club is home to owner, US Army veteran and former amateur cruiser weight and heavyweight muaythai and kickboxing champion, Carlsbad, CA-based Rolando Montano. Carlsbad Kickboxing Club has grown from teaching only a handful of students to becoming the one of the larger muay thai and kickboxing gyms in San Diego County with more than 500 members—including both adult training as well as daily youth classes.

The gym’s focus is personalized and accessible training for each of its members. The gym offers personal sessions, private group training, kids’ classes, fitness classes such as boot camp and bag training as well as small group classes.

Core values of the gym go beyond the gym and training as CKC treats each and every member as family, and, with the help of comprehensive motivation and instruction, the gym helps its members grow not only as kickboxers and muay thai fighters, but as people.

Carlsbad Kickboxing Club is home to trainers who have amassed decades of training at the highest level.
