Matt Baker reached #5 in Glory world rankings while Alex Pereira was champion. Xavier Vigney won the Road to Glory tournament, took the Glory USA Heavyweight Tournament title by KO of Chi Lewis-Parry, and debuted in the K-1 Grand Prix with a second-round stoppage of Seth Petruzelli. Both were trained at Team Black from the amateur level through to international competition.
For Bay Point students, proximity makes Team Black an obvious starting point. The gym is minutes away, and the instruction quality far exceeds what most local studios offer.

Beginners get a clear structure. The first sessions establish guard, stance, footwork patterns, and basic striking mechanics before live partner work is introduced. That careful foundation is the difference between students who plateau and students who keep improving. The coaching at Team Black is specific about what beginners need to learn and in what order.
For Bay Point adults who want a demanding workout with real skill development, kickboxing delivers. Rounds are physically challenging and technically focused. Students leave each session with something specific they improved, not just a sweat. That feedback loop — learning plus conditioning — is what makes kickboxing practitioners more consistent than most people who train purely for fitness.

The gym is in Pittsburg, just a few minutes from Bay Point — one of the closest quality martial arts options in the area.
Yes. Bay Point students who start with no background are not the exception here — most students start that way. The early training is focused and specific. You are not walking into a room full of fighters. Most students start exactly where you are.
Yes. The habits kickboxing builds — distance control, clean entries, staying composed when something gets physical — are practical outside the gym in a way that fitness training is not. For a lot of Bay Point students, that is as important as the conditioning. The training handles both.
Regular workout clothes and water are enough to get started. After your first few sessions, the coaches can tell you exactly what gear makes sense to buy next.
Two to three sessions per week is a strong starting point for most beginners. That is frequent enough to build skill and conditioning without turning kickboxing into something you cannot sustain.
Yes. Team Black teaches the real sport, not a watered-down workout version of it. The conditioning is serious, but the main difference is that every class is building real skill.

Amazing experience! I’ve never done a martial arts class before, so I was feeling really intimidated and worried about not fitting in. Plus, I’m a weenie so I was thinking I’m gonna get ran over. But Dan Black is so welcoming and motivating. He knows how to work with beginners like me. I also watched him work with one of his fighters and can say he trains killers in this gym! I can’t recommend this place enough. 15/10. Come train here; you won’t regret it.
