From the reviews
Taking jiu-jitsu has been a fantastic experience! I've been going twice a week for almost ten months now, and I look forward to it every week! I'd never done anything more athletic than dance and gymnastics as a kid, so this was a big leap for me as I'm now a 35 year old mother of two with absolutely no background in…
Our son started at Atlanta Martial Arts Center several months ago upon turning 5yrs old. We are very impressed with the school, the instructors, and the program itself. We love the fact that the kids program is a blend of several different martial arts and teaches them solid fundamentals to build upon.
The best place I’ve ever trained. The atmosphere is welcoming and centered around personal growth through the various arts offered. The instructors are very approachable and are extremely helpful both on, and off the mat.
Awesome academy! A very knowledgeable staff that is extremely welcoming to everyone. Alan Baker is very talented and an excellent teacher with great passion for martial arts. His knowledge and passion is something that has clearly passed and been spread to all the instructors and students.
New to kickboxing? Start at Atlanta Martial Arts Center
Atlanta Martial Arts Center 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 Atlanta Martial Arts 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.
