From the reviews
This is my favorite place to train Muay Thai. Coach Frank and Kru Benny are among the best instructors in the area.
I have my granddaughter, who is 6 enrolled in the program here. She's been in the program since she was 3 and the difference it has made in her development is awesome. She's very confident she has great communication skills with her classmates and friends and she's all around happy.
Mecklenberg Martial Arts is a family of dedicated, supportive, and friendly people. I’ve enjoyed their Muay Thai classes for a couple years! We have a lot of fun while also being encouraged and pushed to be stronger and more skilled in martial arts.
My kids have been doing Jiu Jitsu here since June, and it’s been wonderful for their confidence, discipline, and personality. The instructors are supportive and the classes are fun, and they’ve learned important life skills along the way. I highly recommend this place!
New to kickboxing? Start at Mecklenburg Martial Arts
Mecklenburg Martial Arts 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 Mecklenburg Martial Arts
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.
