From the reviews
Averill's Martial Arts Academy has been my sanctuary and my motivation for the past 7 years. Every time I walk into Averill's, I feel safe, respected and encouraged to do my best. Coach Paul has gone above and beyond for me and all of the students that he teaches.
Been going to Averill’s for almost 7 years and it has taught me a lot of useful things! Many options whether you’re looking to join for self defense, social life, fun, losing weight- they provide it all. The atmosphere is incredible and the other members are helpful and kind.
I've had the pleasure of training at Averill's for the past number of years, and it has been a fantastic experience! Coach Paul takes the time to ensure you know the basics and finds fun and interesting ways to continue growing your skills and technique.
I've been going to Averills since 2005. Coach Paul is not only a very knowledgeable combat sports instructor with many years of experience, but also a great mentor. He's really helped me through tough times in my life. A typical gym is boring to me.
New to kickboxing? Start at Averill's Martial Arts Academy
Averill's Martial Arts Academy 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 Averill's Martial Arts Academy
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.
