My daughter loves to come here for her BJJ classes! Miss. Kim, Mr. Darnell, Mr. T, Junior, & the rest of the staff, they’re just amazing! Especially with the kids! Since day 1 they made my daughter feel comfortable and she decided right away that this was a place she wanted to go to!

★★★★★ — Jess, Mar 2022

My Son started this School a few Months ago. I’ve seen his progress go from 0 to 6 out of a scale of 10! I can’t wait to see what he will look like after a year. Most importantly he loves coming to class! Great School and Great Teachers and Staff! Sign y’all Children up for training ASAP!

★★★★★ — Jerome, Nov 2025

"What? It's been a week and you aren't ready to commit the rest of your life to us?" We just wanted to enroll our 7 year old in some kung fu classes. BMAA offered a free week trial (3 classes) She loved the class. Loved the instructors, my wife and I were both impressed, but then we got to the contract.

Your first kickboxing class at Baltimore 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.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
