Kickboxing is karate's full-contact sport. Real strikes, real rules, real pressure. It's where striking skill stops being theory and gets tested.
At Claycomb Karate & Kickboxing, we don't teach cardio choreography on a bag.
We teach the striking skills fighters actually use — punches, kicks, footwork, and defense — the way they're trained in a fight camp, scaled to your level from day one.
If you've been looking for kickboxing in Fontana and finding fitness classes,
this is the other thing. The real thing.

TRAIN AT A CHAMPION SCHOOL — UNDER THE COACH WHO BUILT ONE
Kickboxing at Claycomb Karate is led by Shihan Joseph Claycomb (7th Dan) — a champion-building coach with a direct Japanese Shotokan lineage and decades of developing fighters in both Karate and Kickboxing, from their first stance to the winner's circle. Every class follows the same system that produced a champion: fundamentals first, footwork and defense before power, and striking tested under real full-contact rules.
The proof trains beside you. Michael "Sugarbomb" Claycomb — champion fighter in Kickboxing and Muay Thai, and the only Shotokan karate champion fighter competing in these sports in California — was built in this dojo, under this system.
At Claycomb Karate, adults don't just watch a champion's highlight reel. You learn from the coach who built him. And you share the floor with the champion himself.

— Pad work, partner drills, and controlled sparring as you progress
— Conditioning that comes from training like a fighter — not from a workout pretending to be one
No experience needed. Every fighter in this gym started with a first class.
