What you train
Four pillars, one standard
Most gyms make you pick: get fit, or learn to fight. Every Kinetic program in Santa Clarita runs all four, scaled to where you are today.
Conditioning
Pads, bags, intervals and circuits. Fit enough to go hard for a round or chase a kid without thinking about it.
Self defense
Striking, clinch and ground. Awareness first, then escapes and counters drilled until they're automatic.
Mindset
Show up, do the work, stay calm under pressure. It carries into the rest of your week.

Questions
Before you book
No. Most people who train with Josh have never thrown a punch or touched a barbell. Day one starts at your level and builds from there.
Yes. That's exactly who the program is built for. The conditioning starts where you are and ramps up as you do. Nobody gets thrown in the deep end.
Both, in the right amounts. You'll learn to strike, clinch and work on the ground because that's what works. The goal is to get home safe, not to fight in a cage. If you do want to compete, Josh can build toward that too.
It depends on the lane. Private coaching is priced per session, with packages that bring the rate down. Small groups split the cost across two to four people. Workshops are a flat rate per group. Josh walks you through it on your free consult, no pressure either way.
Sessions run in Santa Clarita, CA. Josh shares the exact training location when you book. Self defense workshops can also run on site at your office, school or home.
