From the reviews
Our son (11 years old) has been taking martial arts classes with Jonny for over a year and a half and has grown and learned so much. In his own words he indicated his classes with Jonny have increased his self-confidence and discipline as well as tools to use for defending himself.
My daughter takes Martial Arts classes with Jonny at Golden Fist studio and she loves it. Jonny is great with kids. He's extremely positive, patient, and clear when working with them. Jonny's methods are very effective and fun to learn. He keeps the class moving and the kids involved and engaged.
I really love the vibe at this studio. My 7 year old son takes martial arts classes here and he loves it. I appreciate the friendly and welcoming environment. I’m a busy mom but I also wanted to get back into shape and gain some self defense skills.
New to kickboxing? Start at Golden Fist Martial Arts & Fitness
Golden Fist Martial Arts & Fitness 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 Golden Fist Martial Arts & Fitness
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.
