Stopped in to this gym during a bachelor party weekend. Professor Carlos was great! Very nice, very insightful. Everyone in class was very nice and welcoming. Definitely will stop by again next time I'm on the Cape.

★★★★★ — Brett, Jul 2024

Carlos and Juliano let my son and I drop in on short notice the other day. Great, welcoming atmosphere. Even with a very busy Kids Ju-Jitsu class Carlos found time to give my son one-on-one guidance and made him feel a part of the class even with no previous experience.

★★★★★ — Ben, Feb 2026

Great place to train and practice Jiu-Jitsu. The classes are very challenging and push you to improve every day. The instructors and the students are very friendly and make you feel truly welcome. The gym has good facilities, a great mat area, and even a space to eat and socialize.

Your first kickboxing class at Daniel Gracie Academy Orleans

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.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
