From the reviews
I have 2 6yr old boys who loved the karate class and my 13 yr came out of her shell and loves jiu-jitsu!
These guys were very professional, and very courteous. It's not some cookie cutter program, they have knowledgeable coaches, and even had a guest coach the first day that I went. Got to go over some techniques, and then practice some BJJ with fellow students. Super excited to be joining this group of people!
This martial arts school provides an excellent balance of discipline, fitness, and self-defense training. The instructors are highly skilled and genuinely care about each student’s progress. Classes are well-structured, and the atmosphere is positive and encouraging.
Great atmosphere, great people. Unlike most BJJ places there is a lot of room on the mats. Lots of different ranks all willing to share. The kickboxing/muay thai program is great as well. In both programs you can find the novice all the way up to those who compete.
Your first kickboxing class at East Coast 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.
