From the reviews
Went in for my first time it was very welcoming. I was introduced as a new student, the staff as well as the current students made me feel part of the group .The class was very informative the warmups were great and rolling with all the students and different belts was a very enlightening experience.
"5/5 stars! I'm so impressed with RENZO GRACIE MMA ACADEMY in Middletown, NY.The flexible hours make it easy to fit training into my busy schedule, and the instructors are top-notch - knowledgeable, friendly, and always willing to help.
As a coach and more importantly a father I can speak first hand to the not only the skill of the staff but the ability to bring the best out yourself or your child. I literally spent over a month watching the coaches before I brought my daughter to attend and ultimately started attending myself.
My grandson Jayden Harris has been a member since 2022 and I briefly took kickboxing which I wish I can continue! Let me say this, if we can travel from ulster county to have my grandson can train with top caring coaches and fantastic staff that keep our kids disciplined and in top form I say ANYONE in the Hudson…
New to kickboxing? Start at Renzo Gracie MMA Academy
Renzo Gracie MMA 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 Renzo Gracie MMA 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.
