From the reviews
Helton Silva MMA is absolutely outstanding. My 5- and 7-year-olds train here, and I couldn’t be happier with their progress. The coaches are patient, professional, and amazing with kids. They focus not only on technique, but also on discipline, confidence, and respect.
My wife and I organized a JJ Howland wrestling event and Helton and Katie allowed us to use their beautiful gym to host. These two are great people and it’s no wonder so many others trust them with their children as evident by the large kid’s class! Their adult classes are stacked too.
Helton Silva MMA has been amazing for my kids. My 5- and 7-year-old girls train here and we couldn’t be happier with how they’re doing. The coaches are great with kids, super patient, and really know how to keep them engaged while teaching discipline and confidence. The kids love coming to class, and that says it all.
New to kickboxing? Start at Helton Silva MMA
Helton Silva MMA 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 Helton Silva MMA
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.
