From the reviews
This school is really amazing. The amount of respect, kindness, and enthusiasm the instructors show these kids is unmatched. Every child's name is remembered and they are all noticed or praised every class at least once.
CMA is the best martial arts class in CT.Master Jared is a very good instructor and is very friendly with kids. They aren't only teaching the essential skills of martial arts, they are also teaching valuable life lessons, such as respect for one another, discipline, always having a positive attitude, always giving…
Great facility, AMAZING staff, very helpful/thoughtful/encouraging!!! I have gotten into the best shape of my life in only 3 months time. That is saying a lot since I am a physical education teacher and have completed many triathlons in the past.
Love CMA. You'll find me there most nights and both of my kids. Elite instructors, great people, and always a great workout. There is something for everyone at every age. So while I am training, my kids are in class too. Muay Thai, Taekwondo, kick fit, and even sparring.
New to kickboxing? Start at Connecticut Martial Arts
Connecticut 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 Connecticut 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.
