From the reviews
My current school is closing, so some of my teammates and myself scheduled a drop in to take a trial class. Igor and Natasha were SUPER welcoming and made us feel very much at home. The instruction was very informative as well as laid out in a way that was easy for all levels of BJJ practitioners to understand.
My son started the PUMA program this year. The communication has been amazing. They call to check on you if you miss a class. He loves training here, loves the instructors, STILL talks about day camp over thanksgiving, and has started answering us with yes ma’ams and no sirs!
My son has been going to this school for few months now and we couldn't be happier with the instructors. Igor and Natasha are great with the kids and really care about their students. We had our son in a martial arts class in abacoa and it didn't even compare to this, I wish we hadn't wasted our time.
My 2-year-old started in their martial arts program about a year ago and absolutely loves it! The coaches and instructors are all very passionate about what they do.
New to kickboxing? Start at Palm Beach Gardens Martial Arts
Palm Beach Gardens 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 Palm Beach Gardens 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.
