From the reviews
My son loves it here. They take the time to not only teach the kids martial arts but teach things like discipline and nutrition.They are efficient and organized. Some weekends they offer additional activities such as movie nights and nerf day.
I was a student at the school about 4 years ago I found the experience to be relaxed while at the same time exilerating. The instructor is patient with new students, and caring I plan to rejoin AJW soon. Thank you
Currently participating in the Adult Cardio Kickboxing class. I truly love it! I've notice weight changes, increasing self-esteem and self-discipline. I struggle getting to the gym but I look forward to going to class. Thank you Shihan!
amazing program and structure for children. Staff members are so great and knowledgeable, my daughter loves it.
New to kickboxing? Start at AJW Martial Arts Academy & Fitness Center
AJW Martial Arts Academy & Fitness Center 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 AJW Martial Arts Academy & Fitness Center
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.
