From the reviews
Look no further! This place is amazing for all of their services. All the coaches make everyone feel comfortable and welcome. There is truly no judgment and everyone is willing to help. You don't have to know how to fight or have a martial arts background.
Best team and family environment of the type that ive seen or experienced yet. While it is also a business, im only reminded when i decide to purchase a drink from their fridge.
I would highly recommend this school to anyone, from experienced grapplers to someone that has never touched a mat. From the moment we walk in the door everyone was very welcoming. After a year here I feel like there isn't a better place to train. The type of training you can receive from this school is amazing.
Best gym..... no team ever!!!!! My name is melissa I wrestled at a world level for yrs and when I retired from competition I searched every and tried every gym in the area.
New to kickboxing? Start at Modern American Mixed Martial Arts
Modern American Mixed Martial Arts 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 Modern American Mixed 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.
