From the reviews

The people at this gym are great. I've worked with 3 or 4 different teachers already, and they all want to make sure that the students are actually "getting it." None of the teachers have any problem working one-on-one with a student to make sure he or she is getting the movement down.

★★★★★ — Nate, Sep 2012

Great place with a great group of training partners! Everyone treats you like family and kids are welcome even during non-kid classes! Perfect place to get started on your martial arts journey or make the transition to a better gym that's a better fit.

★★★★★ — Jessica, Aug 2024

Joined this gym 4 years ago without any martial arts experience. Found a very welcoming group of people who fostered a culture of inclusion and helping out anyone who needed it. I love that this gym offers, BJJ, Muay Thai, as well as strength training classes with a weight lifting area.

Your first kickboxing class at Mid-America Martial Arts (MAMA)

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.
