From the reviews

What a wonderful establishment full of wonderful people! We are in Alabama for a few months and decided to sign up for MMA classes while here (myself and my ten year old). We both have learned so much and are so thankful for our time at McLeans. Mr.

★★★★★ — Travel, Mar 2025

I started my nine-year-old a few months ago. I mostly enrolled him to work on his self-control and listening skills. The instructors at McLean's Martial Arts are excellent. With my autistic son, the staff has been wonderful. They are extremely stern, fair, patient, and understanding.

★★★★★ — Holly, Jun 2024

My son has been going to McLeans for almost five years, and he absolutely loves it! Mr. McLean is the coach you want your child to have! He challenges in a positive, encouraging way, and provides tough love when needed. His instructors are always professional and respectful.

★★★★★ — Ben, Jun 2022

My son has been going to MMA for a year. He has learned a lot and really enjoys going. The owners are very caring and attentive and really want to see the kids excel. The instructors are awesome as well. I see a big improvement in my son’s confidence, coordination, and strength. Definitely would recommend!

Your first kickboxing class at McLean's Martial Arts & 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.
