From the reviews
I first found Scornavacco MAA while we were looking for a place to practice martial arts as a family when our son was four. Unimpressed with the chain schools we had visited, we enrolled him in Karate Kids and took on Cardio Kickboxing for ourselves.
Four years ago my children started attending this school. I originally wanted to find something for my son (who is on the spectrum) to train and grow stronger. We enrolled his older brother as well. I didn't expect to see such a change in both of them.
My preschooler is in the Little Dragons program at SMAA and they have exceeded my expectations on every level. The instructors are all extremely knowledgeable, communicative with the parents, and the teaching style is a great blend of firm discipline while still being fun and encouraging.
We can't say enough good things about Scornavacco Martial Arts! Our daughter has been a student for about two years, and the transformation we've seen in her is truly amazing. The instructors are not only skilled in martial arts but also fantastic with the kids.
New to kickboxing? Start at Scornavacco Martial Arts Academy
Scornavacco Martial Arts 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 Scornavacco Martial Arts 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.
