From the reviews
My family and I have been training at this gym for nearly three years now. It is a great gym, with diverse training options: Boxing, BJJ, Krav Maga, Kettlebell Sport, Crossfit, etc. The owners, Juan & his wife Alexis are constantly working to make the gym the best it can be.
This was my first time trying any martial arts activities and my experience so far has been amazing! I am not a naturally active person but my time with New World is an exception. I absolutely love all the classes offered.
My Success Story & Testimonial: Joining New World gym was one of the best decisions I’ve made for myself. As a busy mom and working professional, I needed a place where I could focus on me—somewhere I could get stronger, learn new skills, and improve my confidence. This gym was exactly what I was looking for.
Of all the gyms I've signed up with, New World is hands down the best one. Not only is the staff extremely knowledgeable and kind, but they are supportive and help you to achieve any goal you've set your mind to.
New to kickboxing? Start at New World Defense & Fitness - Gym, Krav Maga, Boxing, BJJ
New World Defense & Fitness - Gym, Krav Maga, Boxing, BJJ 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 World Defense & Fitness - Gym, Krav Maga, Boxing, BJJ
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.
