Don’t hesitate for a second to stop by, beginner or black belt they welcome you respectfully with smiles & open arms. Super laid back vibes, with top tier, well rounded all inclusive training styles.
Dropped in as a white belt in BJJ and had a great experience. Everyone is super friendly, safe, and welcoming. The instructors were great, and you can find your own pace. There are a huge variety of belts there too, and always someone you can roll with.
Started my Jiu Jitsu journey in earnest here. Great calm and welcoming environment for beginners to start. A great group of experienced upper level practitioners for more advanced folks. Truly a gem in Ithaca.
New to kickboxing? Start at Corazon Martial Arts LLC
Corazon Martial Arts LLC comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Corazon Martial Arts LLC
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.
