From the reviews
CPAMMA is such a welcoming space. Gyms like this can be intimidating for females and they do an incredible job of making girls feel that they belong. The instructors are incredibly helpful and supportive. I love attending classes at CPAMMA as I feel I gain new knowledge each time. I highly recommend!
This gym has an environment that encourages you to safely push yourself, while maintaining a learning framework. Started here from scratch in both gi/no-gi BJJ and within 5 months of training felt comfortable to compete @NAGA (won silver in no-gi and bronze in gi white belt).
My 10-year-old son, who plays several sports, wanted to try Jiu-Jitsu but was extremely nervous before his free trial class last night. Elise and Ryan immediately put him at ease—welcoming him, explaining that nerves are normal, and introducing him to other kids and instructors who supported him throughout the class.
I started attending CPA-MMA to train in Muay-Thai over a month ago and its changed my entire life. Going into a predominantly male space was scary until I walked in the door.
Your first kickboxing class at Central PA 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.
