From the reviews
Quick review - training at Dunamis was an amazing experience and I would 100% recommend anyone, regardless of training level, to attend their classes. They take the time to explain things so that everyone understands. Whether you are new to it all or experienced I guarantee you will love it.
Great training gym! Great instructors and a family oriented gym! Highly recommend for anyone that wants to learn a new skill and get comfortable being uncomfortable! Mats are always clean and sanitized and there’s a room for kids to play while you train!
The kids class is great for striking and conditioning as well as the self defense class which he open to any kid on Friday. Self defense also has discussions about awareness which I am a huge fan of incorporation especially for kids.
I started off going to strength and conditioning classes, which were great. When I heard they were changing to Project Warrior Classes I was a little bummed at first that it wouldn’t be just a workout, but figured it was worth a try. I am so glad I gave it a chance!
New to kickboxing? Start at One Forty Four MMA
One Forty Four MMA 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 One Forty Four 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.
