From the reviews
I’m Passionate about martial arts and dedicated to sharing my expertise. Classes are a fusion of discipline, technique, and respect, where students not only learn self-defense but also gain confidence and physical prowess.
I’ve been training Brazilian Jiu Jitsu here for about 3 years and you couldn’t ask for a better program. Coach Nick Berens is extremely knowledgeable in the grappling arts and is a great teacher. The atmosphere is relaxed and anyone can feel comfortable here.
The hardest part is showing up to your first class. My first class was almost 3 years ago and jiu jitsu is now my favorite way to exercise. I make it almost 3 times a week and I've always felt safe with my training partners. Everyone is there to make everyone better.
My 8-year-old has been having fun here, at kickboxing and jiu jitsu, since he was 5. It’s great! The Genesis martial arts kids learn confidence and do well at competitions, too.
New to kickboxing? Start at Genesis Martial Arts - West 13th
Genesis Martial Arts - West 13th 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 Genesis Martial Arts - West 13th
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.
