From the reviews
Several years ago I chose to enroll my children in martial arts to have a fun activity to do. What I discovered is that Elite Martial Arts Academy is so much more than just a fun activity for kids.
Mrs Franklin and all the instructors at IMMA are incredible, role models who are an awesome part of my daughters life. I love that my daughter is learning self control while exercising her body and her mind! She has grown so much in the almost year we’ve been participating and still loves it!
This school demonstrated how my child can stand up for herself. She is so happy with the exercises, the teachers and other students. She takes the classes seriously and has a great time as well. The staff are super helpful to the parents' questions and concerns.
We started our 4 year old in the Little Dragons class here shortly after his birthday. We signed him up after hearing from several older friends how good karate was for their kids' confidence and strength.
Your first kickboxing class at Innovative 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.
