From the reviews
My kids have been training at Lighthouse MMA for a couple of months now, and they absolutely love it!! The coach and his team are fantastic with kids, creating the perfect balance of fun and structure.
I’ve been training at Lighthouse for the last few months and have had a great experience. Every workout is well planned, challenging, and adjusted to my fitness level. The trainer keeps me motivated, push me when I need it, and always make sure I’m using proper form.
Great new gym conveniently located on Broadway in Hewlett. Top notch BJJ instruction from coach Amir, black belt under MMA legend Matt Serra. Beginner friendly and also offers MMA and strength and conditioning classes.
Amazing teacher was training kickboxing and wanted to learn jiu jitsu and Amir in just under a month sharpened up my game and I feel so much better about my striking and learning so much about the ground game and striking and just overall Amir makes you feel like your at home and is just so welcoming 5 stars
New to kickboxing? Start at Lighthouse MMA
Lighthouse MMA 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 Lighthouse MMA
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.
