From the reviews

This is the best money that I spend every month and it is a great workout. The instructors are Extremely knowledgeable and talented. They immediately work to make you feel comfortable and get you started on learning a new way of interacting with yourself and the world around you.

Training here is not only a great workout but also a great way to build self confidence. Band of Brothers has 2 of the best instructors that you can learn from. They will push to find new limits in yourself that you didn't even know was possible.

My husband has been taking classes on Tuesday and Thursday and many Saturdays for years , I cant tell you what it's done for his physical health but most of all for his mental health....

★★★★★ — Roxanne, Feb 2019

Took the Womens self defense class and couldn't be happier! They are extremely helpful and will make sure you have the movement down before everyone moves on. Amazing, talented and experienced instructor's. Was so worth it and feel 100% confident that I can fight off an attacker if I have to! Highly recommend!

Your first kickboxing class at Band of Brothers Martial Arts and Fitness

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.
