From the reviews
I moved in to Austin sometime early last year. It has been one full year of association with this place. One thing I figured out is Coach Forrest is more invested in my training than even me, and that helps for someone like me who is at level 0 (or even lower).
This is hands down one of the best places to train!! Very clean gym, super friendly members, and Coach Forrest is one of the most humble and kindest souls in the martial arts community. He not only teaches the fighting style but the art and philosophy behind it.
I joined this class for a few reasons: 1.To gain more control over my mind and body 2.Stress Relief 3.Get in shape. I can say 100% that this class hits all 3 with one big kick and more! Things I've gained that I wasn't expecting: Friends! everyone is super nice and willing to help and be supportive. FUN!
Austin Impact seems to be one of the more comprehensive gyms out there. Fitness classes, Yoga and Martial Arts Technique rolled up into a neat schedule that runs the whole week. Professional coaches who are passionate about athletics and combat sports conduct lesson plans that fit beginners to advanced students.
New to kickboxing? Start at Austin Impact Jeet Kune Do
Austin Impact Jeet Kune Do 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 Austin Impact Jeet Kune Do
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.
