From the reviews
I’ve been training in the martial arts for nearly 17 years now and my experience here has been nothing but the best!! Mr Diaz is the best coach out there by far! Makes everyone feel like family and does whatever it takes to go above and beyond for all his students!

The instructors are great with my kids, they are learning so quickly it's amazing!! Eddie has a passionate staff and runs a great business. They have training for all ages and many disciplines. My kids have a lot of fun and are learning to defend themselves. Thank you Eddie and team for all you do!
I was always interested in learning martial arts and am happy to be part of Diaz Martial Arts. Every session is well articulated. Mr. Diaz concentrates on getting basic techniques correct. Every day I look forward to learning. Mr. Diaz shares his personal stories and experiences which makes it more interesting.
New to kickboxing? Start at Diaz Martial Arts
Diaz 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 Diaz 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.
