From the reviews

Our experience with the PMA Karate studio for our two boys has been exceptional. From the moment we walked in, the staff has been incredibly warm and accommodating. We have witnessed a remarkable transformation in both our boys, especially our youngest who used to be quite shy.

★★★★★ — Ken, Jun 2023

Love this new studio and its instructors! Sensei Solano, is adored by all 3 of my kids who count down the days to their lessons with him. We are elated to have this offered in our hometown of Encinitas. Thank you!

★★★★★ — Krista, Nov 2022

My son Ben attends classes here and has So much fun! The instructors are firm but gentle and a blast to work with. 10 out of 10 I highly recommend!

★★★★★ — Frankie, Dec 2022

My son Michael has been attending PMA for nearly two years. He began his martial arts journey at PMA when he was nearly 8 years old. Michael has so much energy, which always hindered his ability to focus. After two weeks of training at the dojo, he began to show more focus both at home and at school.

New to kickboxing? Start at 7 Spears Martial Arts and Muay Thai

7 Spears Martial Arts and Muay Thai 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 7 Spears Martial Arts and Muay Thai

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.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
