From the reviews
I have been cyber stalking this gym for over a year, since they opened. Admittedly, I was too intimidated to go in at that time, though I really wanted to. That was a huge mistake. I should have joined a year ago....
I was in town for a few days and was looking for boxing gyms that had real boxing training opposed to just cardio boxing classes. After speaking with a few, I knew Mcsweeney Martial Arts was the place to go.
been coming to the gym for about two years the atmosphere is great. You can tell the staff care about what they do by the way, they treat everyone inside the gym, regardless of skill level, or reason for coming to the gym they just want to help you reach your goals.
The Kickboxing and Jiu Jitsu classes are amazing. The atmosphere is very positive and the coaches train you really well, always motivating you to give your best. They help me unlock my potential, release energy, and feel stronger both physically and mentally.
New to kickboxing? Start at Mcsweeney Martial Arts and Performance Center
Mcsweeney Martial Arts and Performance Center 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 Mcsweeney Martial Arts and Performance Center
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.
