From the reviews
Great place, great vibe! super clean, high level instructors! kids and adults classes! if you like competition or you want to do jiu jitsu as a hobby, both are covered there! Highly recommended
Highly recommend if you are looking to get into Jiu jitsu. The culture and environment are top notch. Head instructor truly cares about the people and sport. 10/10.
My kids have only been attending for about a month, but they really love it — every time, they look forward to the next class with excitement. The coaches are very attentive, know how to connect with children, and you can see how engaged everyone is and how happy they are to follow along and complete the activities.
My daughter has been taking jujitsu lessons here, and it’s been an amazing experience. The instructors are not only highly skilled but also incredibly patient and encouraging with the kids. They create a fun, respectful, and motivating environment where every student feels valued.
New to kickboxing? Start at Atheneum Martial Arts
Atheneum Martial Arts 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 Atheneum 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.
