From the reviews
I found this gym while looking for a place to help me get in shape. The gym was full but welcoming! The type of atmosphere where everyone wants to see eachother reach their goals. People with years of experience were happy to workout with beginners.
We couldn’t be more happier with our experience at Arlington Martial Arts. From day one, the coaches have been incredibly supportive, skilled, and patient with the kids. They focus not just on boxing techniques but also on discipline, confidence, and teamwork, which has been fantastic for my child’s development.
I’ve had the privilege of training with Franc and his team and I can confidently say he is an exceptional boxing coach. His knowledge, attention to detail, and ability to break down techniques make every session both challenging and rewarding.
My son absolutely loves going to Arlington Martial Arts. He has learned so much and has built his confidence since attending classes. The owner and coaches care about the students individually and fosters a family environment. My son has developed a brotherhood with other students.
New to kickboxing? Start at Arlington Martial Arts - Youth Boxing & MMA Fitness for Kids
Arlington Martial Arts - Youth Boxing & MMA Fitness for Kids 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 Arlington Martial Arts - Youth Boxing & MMA Fitness for Kids
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.
