From the reviews

I was able to drop in for a few classes while in Conway. The facilities were very well maintained, and the gym equipment was in great shape. The instructors were knowledgeable and provided quality instruction. Everyone was extremely welcoming and friendly.

★★★★★ — Chris, Jul 2018

I was looking for a place for my 8 year old son to learn Martial Arts. While shopping downtown Conway, we ran across Gravitas MMA. Went in to see if they taught young kids and signed both my 8 year old and 5 year old up for classes. After my sons first class (which he loved) I decided to stay for the kickboxing class.

★★★★★ — Nicole, Nov 2013

I truly can't say enough good things about Gravitas. My 9yr twins and I have been training with them and it is awesome. It's way more than just a workout routine. The owners and staff make us feel as welcome as a second home and everyone is great with the kids.

★★★★★ — Chris, May 2016

Gravitas Martial Arts is an excellent gym! It doesn't matter if you are looking for a fun way to get in shape or if you want to do some competitions, this gym is open to all. I train here and love it. Jonny and Daniel are awesome and they really care about their students.

Your first kickboxing class at Gravitas 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.
