From the reviews
I was looking for a solid boxing and kickboxing school. I came across MVJ while looking schools up online and gave it a try. Best decision I made because since day 1 this school has been all about improving and pushing yourself to new limits.
If you’re looking for a martial arts school in Delaware that offers real-world self-defense, discipline, and community, MVJ Athletics is the place to be. The instructors are knowledgeable, passionate, and genuinely invested in their students’ growth.
I have been attending MVJ Athletics Training Center for just over a month and have been able to see a dramatic progression in my abilities in such a short time. Not only has my cardio and strength shown sincere improvement, but the skills acquired and level of discipline I have gained are something that would not be…
As a former amateur kickboxer, boxer and professional boxer- I can't recommend The MVJ Athletic Training Center enough. This gym has been a cornerstone of my development &training, providing an environment that fosters growth and excellence in both boxing and kickboxing.
New to kickboxing? Start at MVJ Athletic Training Center
MVJ Athletic Training 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 MVJ Athletic Training 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.
