From the reviews
I met Sensei CJ when he taught at a previous school. His personable and kind demeanor, coupled with his devotion to fitness and martial arts, and a practical understanding of muscular structure, made him one of the most helpful and effective instructors I ever trained under.
My child is attending martial art.🥋 He love it, he is building more self confidence through the training. The coach/ trainer makes sure everyone is doing their part properly.
Our 5 year old is enrolled in Kung Fu Karate and Muay Thai with Mr. CJ. Mr. CJ is very patient with the children of the class, very informative, and corrects form/moves without shaming the children. The children in the classes we attend are of varying knowledge/ability of the arts and Mr.
I’ve known about CJ for over 13 years probably… the main thing I remember was his passionate pursuit of martial arts. If I still lived in CT I would trust CJ to coach me in everything he has to offer just because he has proven to me through over a decade of commitment to master many forms of martial arts.
New to kickboxing? Start at Full Circle Martial Arts Academy
Full Circle Martial Arts Academy 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 Full Circle Martial Arts 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.
