From the reviews

I was looking for something to help me get into shape and my daughter into something she enjoyed. For some reason, I skipped over other gyms listed above G1 in my search. Glad I did. My life gets better every time I get on the mat and I have to drag my 5-year-old out of there because she has so much fun.

★★★★★ — Erik, Mar 2021

5 stars hands down!! I have never attended an academy like G1 and I’ve been in the ring before and trained at other academies over my 32 years. The kickboxing classes here had me hooked from day 1. Not only did I get into the best shape I’ve been in, I’ve gained tons of knowledge and confidence in myself.

★★★★★ — Dave, Nov 2021

G1 is a great martial arts academy. I've been been regularly training Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for 5 years now. Larry is a fantastic coach, and its been amazing to watch the school grow.

Your first kickboxing class at G1 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.

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.
