From the reviews
I came in with my son today, who just turned 3yrs - the minimum age for the early childhood program - I was full of nerves, just carting around a child of this age can be stressful, as most all of us parents know! Coach Mike, Coach George, and the rest of the team were so welcoming.
My daughter started taking classes here almost 2 months ago. All I can say is that from the start the staff has been fantastic with communication and when we actually got there, they made us feel very welcome and provided excellent instruction and guidance.
Very impressed!!!! After doing my research and visiting martial art schools, I was giving up. Someone recommended Innovative Martial Arts to me and I thought, it couldn't hurt to try one more. My grandson is special needs, mild issues. My concerns were completely dissolved after a one-on-one class/interview with us.
I started coming to Innovative for my daughter for Martial Arts last November. I was interested in kickboxing from the start but too intimidated to try it. Finally, in March I went to my first class. This was one of the best decisions I have made regarding my health. The workouts are intense but also lost of fun.
New to kickboxing? Start at Innovative Martial Arts & Krav Maga Defiance
Innovative Martial Arts & Krav Maga Defiance 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 Innovative Martial Arts & Krav Maga Defiance
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.
