From the reviews
Best martial art gym in metro Detroit! One of the best investments me and my partner have added to our lives for 1 year+ now. Coach Kurt is knowledgeable, inviting, encouraging, and an all around cool guy (with sick music taste)! Everyone is friendly and takes care of one another.
I've been training at MKG Detroit for about two months so far, coming in without any previous martial arts training. The teachers & students at MKGD are very welcoming, and immediately made me feel comfortable.
Great school, one of the best around, it's located close to my workplace. I have been going there for on and off for 5 years. One of the originals, Kurt and Amariah are great people with tons of knowledge to share on the martial arts. Oh! And their two twin daughters are adorable.
I Googled martial art schools back in January 2023 (when Boombox was previously known as MKG) to begin learning basic martial art techniques. I have a toddler son and was looking to explore an unfamiliar routine of exercise and meet new people.
New to kickboxing? Start at Boombox Mixed Martial Arts
Boombox Mixed 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 Boombox Mixed 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.
