From the reviews
We have been coming here as a family for more than 2 years. We started with my son, who was 4. He was very shy and wouldn't come out of his shell. By 6 months of being here, his confidence skyrocketed. He excelled in soccer, in which he wouldn't even go on the field the year before.
Excellent Martial Arts school. My son loves it. We were referred by a school friend and never looked back. It is a family run business and all classes are run by family members . Each instructor excels in teaching techniques and also respect and values.They show dedication and passion.
AMA is great, and Mr. Binyamin is world-class. Not only does he treat the kids with respect, but he also earns it in return, as does all of the instructors. Besides being a place to learn martial arts, they host many events throughout the year for students and their families.
Been taking my daughter here for the last 8 months. She absolutely loves it. High energy classes keeping the kids moving and engaged. Best of the best. She loves coming every week.
New to kickboxing? Start at American Martial Arts Smithfield
American Martial Arts Smithfield 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 American Martial Arts Smithfield
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.
