From the reviews
Started BJJ with no previous background experience including wrestling or mixed martial arts. No matter! Black Wolf Martial Arts- Shoreline staff and atmosphere brings a positive moral to training and gaining knowledge on the sport.
I have been doing the strength and conditioning program for over 2 years. I am over 50 and I am in better shape now than I was when I was in my twenties. I would highly recommend this program to anyone looking to get into shape no matter what your age.
I’m 47 and started BJJ training at Black Wolf a little over a year ago. Best decision I ever made. Great, technical instruction from top notch BJJ practitioners along with training partners who are always willing to help everyone learn and grow.
Black Wolf Martial Arts is such a great training environment. The instruction is high level and the community is amazing! My daughter started her JiuJitsu training there and she loves it. The kids program is great! The kids love it and are all advancing so much. JiuJitsu is truly the best martial arts for kids.
New to kickboxing? Start at Black Wolf Martial Arts Shoreline
Black Wolf Martial Arts Shoreline 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 Shoreline
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.
