“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “My son has been training at Dojo Arts for the past three years, and it’s been an incredible journey.”
“Recently finished the Muay Thai/BJJ intro program and couldn’t possibly have found a better, more welcoming gym.”
“It’s a very welcoming environment, the classes were great and Kim took her time helping me navigate boxing as a south paw.”
“As a 40-year-old who hasn't practiced any martial arts since he was a teen, this has been a great way to get back on the saddle and challenge myself to grow.”

From the reviews
Favorite school I've had the chance to train in. You really get a chance to become well rounded. The Jui Jitsu program is great. The stand up and MMA classes are aweome and a great workout. The work out classes always wear me out. And brandon, the owner.
I did the Wim Hoff class with Brandon. He was an amazing instructor and led an unforgetable experience.
This place rocks. The intro class is a great way to dive in and see what you might like. Instructors and students are also great!

New to kickboxing? Start at Dojo Arts
Dojo Arts 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 Dojo 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.
