From the reviews
I joined RCW about 4 months ago, specifically attending the Muay Thai classes. Martial arts can be intimidating, especially for beginners, but it has been a great experience.
I've been at RCW for just over a year now, and it has been a fantastic experience. Joe has built something special here. He and the other instructors share their deep knowledge with each and every student in a fun and informative way. They emphasize proper technique and safety at all times.
Great service, and amazing team. I told them my situation and they were very understanding to work with me. Thank you very much. Great environment and great classes. That teach for all interest wither that be for competitive, casual, or self defense.
I have trained at quite a few gyms and this is the best martial arts school I have ever trained at. The instructors are all incredibly friendly and knowledgeable.
New to kickboxing? Start at River City Warriors
River City Warriors 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 River City Warriors
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.
