From the reviews

Just had a great intro to MMA session last night with Brian. It was excellent! I'm not a newbie by any means, but I definitely need some attention in order for me to understand what to do and to get a good workout.

★★★★★ — Eric, Sep 2017

Great MMA gym with great people. I have been training Brazilian jiu-jitsu for ~5 years, 3 years at this school. The instructors are highly skilled and really care about the development of their students. The people are friendly and always willing to help you get better.

★★★★★ — Brian, Jan 2017

The school has a laid back vibe with plenty of experienced students ready to share techniques and tips, an openness that comes through the instructor Brian Katz. Brian shares his knowledge and trains with the students regularly. He’s technical and very talented.

★★★★★ — Jay, Sep 2025

Been training here for decades and have driven past so many schools closer to my home just to train at advanced. I promise you, it's worth every mile and every obstacle. Coach Brian has been a sage in my life and has changed my life for the better in so many ways.

Your first kickboxing class at Advanced Martial Arts

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.
