From the reviews
Reviews are not something I typically take part in. However Mr.Palmer and his staff at Pride martial arts are well above spectacular. The amount of professionalism and dedication to increasing the safety and confidence of anyone who walks in the school. It doesnt stop there.
I wish I could give this place 100 stars. Palmer and his instructors are amazing. They meet every student on their own level and inspire growth. I for awhile wondered if this was beneficial for my 9 year old going on his third year.
All the instructors are professional and informative. I believe that they truly care for their students, I love this school for my children they’ve learned how honor and respect plays out in their daily lives I’m so proud of the young gentleman they are becoming and I would recommend Pride Martial Arts to all.
The male instructor for my Grandson is awesome with the kids. He just started and we are hoping he will continue. I went at 5:20 class on Wed Aug 3rd. They also had 3 other instructors helping with the younger class.
Your first kickboxing class at Pride 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.
