From the reviews
I absolutely love this school. It's structured, organized, safe and fun!!! The instructors are top notched. They give each student attention but allow them to learn under fire. They rotate different skillsets throughout the year. I have two of my children (11yo and 6yo) in the school. Ms.

My family has been coming to NJMMA for over 6 years now and the growth I've seen in my kids - and this school - is amazing. Mr. Jones has been a mentor to my 3 boys and I am so thankful that we found him. Miss Jones and Sir Mitch are awesome working with the younger kids, and Mr.
My daughter has been taking classes with Mr. Jones for a little over a month now and I’m so happy we signed her up. Mr. Jones is great with the kids, he lets them have fun while learning to be confident and defend themselves all while keeping the kids in line.
New to kickboxing? Start at New Journey MMA
New Journey MMA 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 New Journey MMA
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.
