From the reviews
Budo Martial Arts is a second home to me and my family. We have been involved with them since they first opened their doors. It started with my husband and son doing Jiu Jitsu some 8 years ago. Then, me doing Kickboxing. I was nervous about trying Jiu Jitsu.
From the moment my son told me he wanted to learn martial arts, my husband and I started searching for the perfect place. Budo Martial Arts was that for us despite it being a bit of a distance from our home. The owner, Mr. Kieran Todd is great!
My son started Budo Martial Arts program at 11 years old as a beginner at the recommendation of his pediatrician as he was having some trouble focusing and was being bullied in elementary school. The improvement in focus, concentration and general attitude is amazing.
Budo is perfect if you're looking for a martial arts school that truly cares about its students, both on and off the mat. Whether you're an adult who wants to train or a parent looking for a place for your kids, this is it.
New to kickboxing? Start at Budo Martial Arts Studio
Budo Martial Arts Studio 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 Budo Martial Arts Studio
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.
