From the reviews
Would give 6 stars… but that’s not possible. Great people here. Cooper keeps a safe trading environment for all kinds of people. The bjj and judo are excellent ( that’s what I train, but the boxing and nut Thai look good too). Very self defense oriented classes, but some fun sporty stuff too.
I was here for 3 months. If you pay the full membership and get all the classes, this school is essentially a playground for martial arts students. They have judo, boxing, muay thai, and bjj. I attended this school for 3 months. Sean the owner, is amazing.
Amazing gym for adults, kids, beginners and pro competitors. Cooper MMA has something for everyone, with world class instructors for BJJ, Muay Thai and MMA. I have been training MMA for 7 years and wanted a place that was safe, fun but also legitimate to enroll my son and I.
Sean is a terrific instructor—extremely patient and always willing to help you understand a technique or resolve any questions. The gym is spotless, well-maintained, and fully equipped with a wide variety of workout tools. I cannot recommend this place enough!
New to kickboxing? Start at Cooper MMA
Cooper MMA 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 Cooper MMA
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.
