From the reviews
Cat & AJ do such a fantastic job at explaining things in a way that is easy for beginners to understand. The overall gym culture they have cultivated is so welcoming and supportive. This place should honestly be studied as an example of how to build team spirit and a positive learning environment.
As a newcomer to the world of MMA and Jui Jitsu, I was blown away by their world-class expertise and coaching. The owners, Cat & Aj and Dan & Emily are truly excellent people. Their knowledge of Jui Jitsu and striking is at an incredibly high level, making them true masters in their field.
I've been attending Droogs for about 5 months (MMA, Jiu Jitsu & Muay Thai classes), and I can't imagine a better place to begin martial arts as a brand new student.
I live a good distance away and am a member of another top mma gym; but have come to Droogs as a visitor and really love this place. I’ve been training for years and have had some amazing coaches; I can attest that Cat and AJ are amongst the best.
New to kickboxing? Start at Droogs MMA & Jiu Jitsu
Droogs MMA & Jiu Jitsu 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 Droogs MMA & Jiu Jitsu
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.
