From the reviews
My daughter and I tried both classes just less than a hour ago, and I just have to share how absolutely great our whole experience was. My daughter has had issues in school with bullying, and just this first class alone I saw an instant change in her over all self esteem and confidence.
My child has been training here with no prior experience in jiu-jitsu, I couldn’t be happier with the decision to join this gym. The instructors are incredibly patient, understanding, and genuinely committed to helping the kids learn. They don’t just teach techniques they teach confidence, discipline, and respect.
I've been training at 8ight Limbs for almost 2 months now, and I absolutely love it. I've studied various martial arts since 2003, but being here makes me feel like a beginner again—in the best way. The coach is dedicated to helping every student grow, regardless of their skill level.
Class schedule is super good for even someone who is busy! The instructors are very knowledgeable and awesome at communicating to the students even for beginners! Classmates made me feel welcome since day one, would highly recommend for anyone who is interested!
New to kickboxing? Start at 8ight Limbs Academy
8ight Limbs Academy comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 8ight Limbs Academy
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.
