From the reviews
Imperatori Family Martial Arts Center has truly been a blessing for my family. Joey and the entire team are absolutely amazing—the way they genuinely care about the children is so heartwarming. As a single mother, I want nothing but the best for my daughter, and I have truly found it here.
Our children have been attending imperatori for years, enjoying both the day camps and after-school classes. The instructors are skilled, patient, and great with kids, creating a fun environment where they learn valuable life skills.
I’ve been really impressed with this karate school. Even though I don't have kids myself, I've seen how well the instructors work with the younger students. They’re great at keeping the classes engaging and fun while also teaching important values like discipline and respect.
It has been so difficult to find something that my daughter has been excited to go to. We went to Imperatori family martial arts to try a class and she was immediately hooked! The classes are so much fun and she is asking to go every single day. The staff is also amazing.
New to kickboxing? Start at Imperatori Family Martial Arts Center
Imperatori Family Martial Arts Center 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 Imperatori Family Martial Arts Center
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.
