From the reviews
My family and I have trained at Metro Krav Maga and Kickboxing for many years and I would highly recommend their services for your entire family.
Metro Krav Maga and Kickboxing in Collinsville has been a fantastic experience from the start. All of the instructors are wonderful teachers, and there is a variety of personalities to help you get different perspectives on the various tactics.
Very happy with their program for my son. Even in the first month of classes I saw an improvement in respect and listening at home. The classes are very well organized, fun, and life lessons taught. He is also being taught how to defend himself and I can tell he feels more empowered by this.
I had no prior martial arts experience and was very imitated trying something new. I tried their adult class when I started college and loved their program. I learned a lot of self defense tools as well as kickboxing skills.
New to kickboxing? Start at Metro Krav Maga & Kickboxing
Metro Krav Maga & Kickboxing 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 Metro Krav Maga & Kickboxing
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.
