From the reviews
Very nice place to bring the kids that either can improve on their martial arts, or self discipline if needed. Kids are well thought the essentials about respect and life decisions. I can see my daughter improvement on her techniques and how further she keeps challenging yourself.
Both myself and my daughter have trained at 360 Defense for the past 3+ years. It's a great workout while learning self defense. My partners are awesome. I have other gym memberships but this is the one I never miss.The instructors are great with the kids.

I have had an outstanding experience at 360 Defense. I started when I was about 7 years old and I fell in love with it. My parents always thought it is important If anything we’re to happen (or even If something didn’t) that I know how to properly defend myself in any kind of situation.
New to kickboxing? Start at 360 Defense Martial Arts LLC
360 Defense Martial Arts LLC comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at 360 Defense Martial Arts LLC
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
