From the reviews
I’ve been coming to Black Wolf for almost a year now after leaving a typical “meat head” gym. Honestly it was the best decision I’ve ever made. I started off doing strength and conditioning and a little bit of Muay Thai and now I’m also doing the heavy bag classes (+ do yoga upstairs with Bobbi).
Great atmosphere, amazing coaches and friendly students. This place is huge and has everything you could want in a gym. State of the art equipment, clean and very helpful coaches. Jits, muay Thai and mma, what else could you ask for? Definitely recommend to all those in New Haven area......
I’ve been coming to Black Wolf for personal training for years now, and I can’t say enough good things about it. Alberto is a great coach and a mentor, but honestly, he’s just a great friend. The vibe there is always welcoming, and he knows exactly how to push you to hit your goals.
I love training at Black Wolf. Alberto is a patient teacher and the vibe in class is always very friendly and welcoming. Taking your first class can feel intimidating at any gym but the people at Black Wolf go above and beyond to make the classes fun, welcoming, informative, and not overwhelm you with too much at once.
New to kickboxing? Start at Black Wolf Martial Arts
Black Wolf Martial Arts 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 Black Wolf Martial Arts
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.
