From the reviews
My children have been taking classes here for years now and they absolutely love it. The environment is very supportive and the teachers are willing to spend the time with you to make sure you are learning. I was so inspired by my children that I started taking class as well.
My family have been members of Cloud Forest Martial Arts Athletic Club since 2019. Both of my children have grown, been nurtured, and taught by an excellent, core set of patient instructors whose attention to detail exemplify their dedication to their craft.
Great Staff & Safe Learning Environment. They offer training at ALL levels novice to expert. My Family & I Love this place!!☮️HIGHLY RECOMMENDED (🗣️Special Shoutout to Sifu Michael, Sifu Brandon & Coach Cornell).
My experience at the Academy has been nothing more than a remarkable experience. From the kind and polite staff to the well respected martial arts instructors, I felt welcomed and honored to step foot in their facility.
New to kickboxing? Start at Cloud Forest Martial Arts
Cloud Forest 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 Cloud Forest 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.
