From the reviews
Highly Recommended! I've have a fantastic experience at PMAFA! Master P and all of the others instructors are knowledgeable, patient, and truly dedicated to helping each student grow, both in skill and confidence. The classes are well-structured and welcoming to all ages and skill levels.
Signed up my 4 year old daughter and she loves it. Gets her to practice discipline and learn self defense. I love how the Owner has older students assist with the "Tiny Tiger" class.
My son Eddie attends PMAFA and it is a pleasant and structured environment... Master P is an incredible instructor... If you want to learn and/or perfect Martial Arts then PMAFA is where you should be heading to.
There's no other place like Pure Martial Arts Fitness Academy in Bridgeport! I have watched my children grow tremendously in their discipline, focus, respect, and fitness. This place gives such a welcoming and enriched atmosphere it's surreal.
New to kickboxing? Start at Pure Martial Arts Fitness Academy
Pure Martial Arts Fitness Academy 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 Pure Martial Arts Fitness Academy
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.
