★★★★★ — Adedoyin, Apr 2017

My daughter started taking Kai MMA three years ago when she was 6 and I liked the classes so much that several months later, I joined too. Since I am getting older, I was looking for something that would help me stay flexible.

★★★★★ — Arlene, Jan 2017

I have never felt more comfortable in a gym than I do here. I have been a member for over a year now and I think this place exceeds anything I thought an academy could offer!

★★★★★ — Karan, Dec 2019

I had my daughter attending the after school program. I sometimes work long hours at work so it was important to me that my daughter had somewhere valuable that she can come to.

New to kickboxing? Start at Kai Next Level Mixed Martial Arts & B.J.J. / Fitness

Kai Next Level Mixed Martial Arts & B.J.J. / Fitness comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Kai Next Level Mixed Martial Arts & B.J.J. / Fitness

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.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
