From the reviews

Definitely check out this gym! Great owners, trainers and family! I love the workout and feel of the smaller gym atmosphere. I never felt intimidated or lacking in ability. Khoury modifies or enhances the workout so it’s geared for everyone in the room. He teaches his trainers to do the same.

★★★★★ — Michelle, Mar 2022

Hudson Valley Martial Arts and Boxing Academy is a great for anybody looking to learn to box. Whether you’re just a beginner or looking to fine tune your skills and compete, Coach Khoury and the Porter Boxing System take a hands on approach to make you the best boxer that you can be.

★★★★★ — Patrick, Mar 2022

I was impressed with Khoury’s experience in the world of boxing and appreciated that he included his experiences with pro fighters into our one on one training sessions even though I was a beginner. He pushes you to reach your potential so that you can grow in fitness and as an athlete.

★★★★★ — Anna, Mar 2022

Best Boxing Gym in Rockland! Especially if you are looking to go pro or amateur. Highly recommend sending your kids here to build their confidence. My son used feel insecure since starting middle school, and the lessons have really helped him out. I absolutely recommended this place!!

New to kickboxing? Start at Hudson Valley Martial Arts and Boxing Academy

Hudson Valley Martial Arts and Boxing Academy 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 Hudson Valley Martial Arts and Boxing Academy

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.
