From the reviews
Truly a coach that has been with me since day 1 of walking in the gym and took the time to really focus on me to get me better not to mention the awesome atmosphere in the gym truly a good place to train if you want to be a martial artist especially if you want to be a fighter. Great Team and Great Coach!!
My 8 year old son has begun his journey into the world of MMA and his experience working with Jonesly has been awesome. Jonesly is a top notch instructor who only brings positive vibes and high-level skills training.
I’ve had an amazing experience here. I started training back in January and it was one of the best decisions I made. Training here quickly became my favorite part of my week. It’s a great atmosphere with great people. There is no judgement, no ridicule.
Coming from no experience and nervous to take the first step, Coach Jonesly made me feel right at home. He has crafted such a welcoming culture and environment within the gym that has made me excited to come back every single session.
New to kickboxing? Start at Jonesly MMA Academy
Jonesly MMA Academy 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 Jonesly MMA 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.
