From the reviews
Gracie is best training there is by far. The instructors at Gracie are the most capable instructors I have ever met for children or adults.
This place deserves a 12/10 for communication. Their emails are spot on and their ability to connect with families is exemplary! I am so glad we found Gracie and I am proud of the growth I already see in my son. The other day he was being lazy when doing his exercises.
My 9yr old has taken 6 weeks worth of classes and is enjoying most of the classes. The instructors do a great job of making the students earn there stripes through actually learning the skill or hold and using them in class sessions.
I've been training at Gracie Owensboro for close to 3 years. A lot of the same people are still there and I have had the pleasure of gaining real friendships. We have a common goal of just trying to be better then we were the day before. My son is 10 and also has the pleasure of training.
New to kickboxing? Start at Gracie Owensboro
Gracie Owensboro 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 Gracie Owensboro
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.
