From the reviews
Brought my 5 yr old daughter here for a free trial I discovered on social media and we've been hooked since. I immediately got her enrolled for classes which are twice per week. Mr. Gomez and Ms. Drew are both amazing. My daughter is learning balance, discipline, respect, self-esteem, confidence and lots more.
This place has really made a difference for my family. l. We come twice a week, and my kiddo really enjoys it. Mr. Gomez is hardcore and the real deal. If you don't like tough love and discipline or someone to speak the truth or hold your child accountable, this isn't the place for you.
THIS PLACE IS AMAZING! I started looking for a way to feel stronger and more confident in myself. I really needed to learn to defend myself and this place did that and more. I have been a student for 9 months and recently got my yellow belt!
A great spot if you're ready to commit for 12 months minimum. I did my free trial class today and they seem like great people and the class was great, but be aware that after your free class they pitch you on a 12 month program and don't have any month to month options.
New to kickboxing? Start at Nashville Krav Maga
Nashville Krav Maga 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 Nashville Krav Maga
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.
