From the reviews
I wanted to thank Sensei Ruocco on having such an outstanding Martial Arts facility and after school program. When I was interested in finding a school for a friend of mine,I checked out several in the area. Yours by far was the best that I observed.
Our Family loves IMAA. We have four members of our Family currently training there. The atmosphere is focused, clean and positive. It really is a Martial Arts Family feeling. We attend several classes a week and as parents have seen so may improvements in our children since joining.
I can honestly say my single greatest decision so far this year is joining the team at IMAA. It’s actually the best decision I’ve made in quite some time. Sensei Ruocco is a first class teacher. His staff is excellent and really hands on.
Wonderful Academy! They are organized and consistent with the kids. The instructors go the extra mile to keep kids engaged. Sensei is an awesome role model and the kids look up to him - he commands respect by showing respect to others.
Your first kickboxing class at International Martial Arts Academy World Headquarters
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.
