From the reviews
Geeze where do I even start, SBY MMA and Fitness / Southside Ju-Jitsu is my second home. I have nothing but great things to say about this gym. I joined a little over 2 years ago and since then SBY MMA has done nothing but grown.
SBY MMA and FITNESS has been wonderful for my children. The Jiu Jitsu, kickboxing, Boxing and Karate programs have done some amazing things for my children. The self confidence they have gained is tremendous. The staff is caring but strict and treat them like their own family.
My son joined this gym, it was a chance for growth. We quickly learned that the environment was what he needed to grow as a combat sports participant. The coaches quickly developed a community atmosphere for him to grow into and excel for all his future goals.

New to kickboxing? Start at SBY MMA AND FITNESS / SOUTHSIDE BJJ ACADEMY
SBY MMA AND FITNESS / SOUTHSIDE BJJ 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 SBY MMA AND FITNESS / SOUTHSIDE BJJ 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.
