From the reviews
I grew up going to Silbers Martial Arts, where I trained for 7 years. The staff there, especially Sensei, could not be better, both as instructors, and as humans. If your child is struggling with bullying, low self-confidence, or just wants to learn how to defend themselves, there is simply no better place to be!
Silbers Martial Arts has done so much for my son (age 10) and now my daughter (age 6). My son started here at 3 years old with low muscle tone, hard to even grip a pencil. He has grown into a very strong boy. When they come off-track Sensei Joe would take time out and help talk to them and get them back on track again.
We truly love being part of the Silbers Martial Arts family!! My son has been in martial arts for 4 years and he loves it! The format of the classes, the instructors, and the environment as a whole has helped him achieve his goals and motivates him to continue to set and reach even higher goals, while teaching life…
Silber's Martial Arts is the best martial arts academy anyone can be a part of. It is not only a place where you can learn true self defense and many different styles of martial arts, but an academy where you can grow as a better person physically and mentally.
New to kickboxing? Start at Fundamentals Strength & Defense
Fundamentals Strength & Defense 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 Fundamentals Strength & Defense
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.
