From the reviews
We love this place! My daughter has really enjoyed learning with Coach Josh. Shes a shy kid with strangers and they did a great job of making her feel at home. As a parent, I especially love how Coach Josh gives life lessons on just being a good human and making a positive impact on the world. Pround EMA family!
This gym is absolutely fantastic. Two of my boys go here and I have seen them grow in so many ways. The coaches are wonderful and truly give the students the one on one attention that sets this gym well above others for me.
The staff and coaches have been super welcoming and friendly since we inquired and have attended classes . My son had no prior experience , they were patient with him and worked with him . He’s always super excited to go to class. Facility is also well kept and clean . Lauren , Coach Josh are so amazing !
My family and I have been training at Extreme Martial Arts for nearly two years now and with two of my kids, my wife and I all enrolled in different classes I could go on all day about all the things we love about it!! Our kids have both shown a lot of skill as well as character development!
New to kickboxing? Start at Extreme Martial Arts
Extreme 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 Extreme 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.
