From the reviews
If you’re looking for a great work out and a killer crew this is the spot! I was used to a traditional boxing atmosphere.. a gym that focused on technique, not just getting your heart rate up. Every gym in the area I had found was cardio focused, until I found Chris & his crew!
I’ve known Chris Rollins for over 12 years, and he is one of the greatest martial artists and human beings I’ve ever met. He truly cares about giving back to people and the community, and that shows in everything he does at Rocket Combat Sports.
The vibe is everything & the people really do make it... You walk in & feel like family... The cardio kickboxing classes seemed a little intimidating at first (I've never really done anything like it), but everyone is so encouraging, the knowledge & breakdown of the movements is explained really well.
The best experience! Super welcoming and encouraging environment. The classes are so fun and knowledgeable for all levels with the best people! I’m so happy I found this place and always look forward to going back.
New to kickboxing? Start at Rocket Boxing and Martial Arts
Rocket Boxing and Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Rocket Boxing and 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.
