From the reviews
The instructors are so great at working with kids! They let the kids be kids, within reason of course, and still gently correct their form or call their attention. The classes start off with some conditioning/warm up, then they go to moves, and then they finish with some stretching.
The instructors are amazing and know when to gently push and when the kid is already challenged enough. They are very structured and have a planned curriculum, and the schedule is super flexible. Very professional experienced instructors. My son really looks forward to the classes. So glad we found this place!
I am so glad that Champions martial arts started a branch in Annapolis. Instructors CJ and Red are doing an awesome job training kids of all ages. They understand really well to deal with little ones and get their attention to the lesson. Kids get to learn many skills while having a great time.
In my first session with my autistic son and the instructors are beyond great! I’ve been turned down from multiple martial arts facilities but they welcomed us with open arms. Definitely will be coming back.
New to kickboxing? Start at Epic Martial Arts
Epic Martial 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 Epic 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.
