From the reviews
Excellent place for your family to train Muay Thai Kickboxing and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I have known both owners/instructors for 20 years, they are passionate about what they do and it shows in their teaching methods. Highly recommend giving this team a shot ! Oss!
I want to share my opinion as someone who has spent many years traveling and experiencing different cultures. I have seen many local gyms in the US and overseas, and over time I learned how to recognize whether a place is just about business, or if it is built on something more meaningful and genuine.
Andrew was my first Jiu-Jitsu instructor more than a decade ago, and Isaac has been both my training partner and mentor for even longer. These two are among the most skilled martial artists and educators I’ve ever had the privilege of learning from. Seeing them open their own gym this year felt like a dream come true.
I've just attended a free women's self-defense seminar with Andrew at Old School Martial Arts last weekend. I felt really impressed by Andrew's extensive knowledge, and learned basic escapes, situational awareness and risk avoidance.
New to kickboxing? Start at Old School Martial Arts
Old School Martial Arts 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 Old School Martial Arts
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.
