From the reviews
I have been doing the martial arts my whole life and was looking for a new gym close to home. I found ECS about two months ago and couldn’t be happier! All the staff are very knowledgeable and able to teach everyone from a beginner to a seasoned martial artist.
Hands down, the best academy to train at in the area! Instructors are extremely knowledgeable and welcoming and it has a great atmosphere. I trained here for several years while living in the area and miss it every day. Will occasionally take trips back solely for training with this group of people.
Jared and Michael are amongst the best trainers in the state of Oklahoma. Their skill set, expertise and their ability to coach is unmatched. The prices are extremely affordable for the amount of skill you will gain.
This is an outstanding facility and has the best instructors around. The variety of classes is excellent. The instructors genuinely care about the students. I felt at home on the very first day. Come check it out - you will not regret it.
New to kickboxing? Start at ECS Martial Arts
ECS 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 ECS 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.
