★★★★★ — Michael, Jun 2025

I can't begin to express how happy I am to have discovered Impact MMA. My daughters and I have experienced a few MMA schools, but never quite found what we were looking for, until we walked into Impact. The owner and instructors are fantastic..

★★★★★ — Abigail, Jan 2020

Fred and his team are patient and dedicated. They do a great job teaching discipline and team work while building confidence. They have multiple classes with smaller class sizes. If you are looking for a program for your child or as an adult you have to come check them out, you won’t be disappointed.

★★★★★ — Alexandria, Apr 2023

This is my 2nd week here the place does really help would recommend if you are looking for any type of martial arts especially kickboxing.

New to kickboxing? Start at Freestyle MMA Academy

Freestyle MMA Academy 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 Freestyle MMA Academy

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.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
