From the reviews
NY San Da is the only gym I have stayed at. I have slacked off many times, but with class cards I always come crawling back, they are a great option and I've never seen them in any other gym in the city. The classes are fresh all the time and the staff are low key and friendly.
I am not sure if it is in fact "NY's oldest kickboxing gym" as advertised? But I HAVE met people who have been members 12, 14 and one even 20 years so they must be doing something right?
This is NYC's first kickboxing gym, the first one to make classes for regular people to learn kickboxing without being fighters. My brother was a member first, then brought me, that was 12 years ago. Kickboxing is, like most martial arts, more than just kicks and punches, it is a lifestyle
This is a great place to get your body right, to build your confidence, to strengthen your mindset and to challenge your overall self. The coach and the staff work with you at the level you start off and continue throughout the training providing you with tips to help you reach your goals!
New to kickboxing? Start at New York San Da
New York San Da 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 New York San Da
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.
