From the reviews
I currently have 2 of my 5 children training at Bushido, and a third will be starting soon. I cannot say enough good things about this gym and the people who run it. When my son Constantino started, he had just turned 3 and was a very challenging age to teach. Hugo and Sonny were incredibly patient with him.
A premiere martial arts school training Brazilian Jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai, MMA, Wrestling, and Strength & Conditioning classes in a 3000 Sq ft facility available all week. Stop in and talk to Professor Hugo Sida or Averie, the front desk manager. Instructors do accept private classes outside those scheduled.
I’d highly recommend Bushido MMA to any parent considering martial arts for their kids. My oldest started training there a little under a year ago, and we’ve already seen a huge difference in his confidence, discipline, and focus in school.
As a family we searched several places for my teen. The size of classes at all levels stood out as the first sign we were in the right place-they seem to be doing something right. Then, the way the instructors taught was the 2nd sign because the teaching style is clearly created to develop habitual skills.
New to kickboxing? Start at Bushido MMA and BJJ Academy
Bushido MMA and BJJ Academy 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 Bushido MMA and BJJ Academy
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.
