From the reviews
I've always wanted to take a marital arts class, but life, adulting, parenting, finances, etc. prevented me from doing so. It also seemed as if, by not having taken any martial arts as a child/early adult, I had missed my boat.
DDM is the best place to learn and have fun doing martial arts. I am a beginner and Greg has taught me and been patient. I like how he explains why when he gives you guidance. The sparring helps learn how to use skills in a real world scenario. I plan on trying other classes as well.
This is a fantastic martial arts gym! The instructors are knowledgable on a wide range of disciplines and provide plenty of personal attention where necessary to help their students progress toward their goals as martial arts enthusiasts. Definitely recommend checking them out!!
Great place to learn more about Martial Arts ! Kickboxing, boxing, MMA everything that I like 😊 Nice facility as well and Coach Greg is very knowledgeable and helpful ! Also everyone there was welcoming and supportive. Highly recommend this gym !
New to kickboxing? Start at Devil Dog Martial Arts
Devil Dog Martial Arts 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 Devil Dog 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.
