From the reviews

My son started with a free week coupon and we've been here for almost a year now. Sensei Daniel has made a tremendous impact on my son and is a phenomenal mentor/teacher. Absolutely recommend this dojo! We also have awesome new Senseis-in-training, Sensei Zach and Sensei Carrie.

★★★★★ — Mb, Sep 2024

This place is awesome. I'm 35 years old and joined the dojo almost 6 months ago. It has been great. I have got in much better shape, become more flexible, and formed a passion for the martial arts. I advise anyone that's at all interested to go try a free intro class.

★★★★★ — G., Aug 2021

The instructors are incredibly knowledgeable but also down-to-earth and approachable, which made it much less intimidating for a beginner like me. What I really appreciate is how much attention they give to each student, no matter the skill level.

★★★★★ — Anna, Jul 2025

Update - I've been going to Liberty AMA, 4 times a week, for almost 7 months now. I am not one to use hyperbole, but this had been life changing. Sensei Daniel - one of the most sincere, caring people I know. He wants you to well in your martial arts journey and your life journey.

Your first kickboxing class at Aplomb Martial Arts Liberty

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.
