From the reviews
I absolutely LOVE Southside Mixed Martial Arts!! My son, Jaxxon has been going here for about 2 months and we love it here!! He has already entered and WON his first tournament!! The instructors are THE best! They are fair to all the students. I love how timely they are, practice starts and ends ON TIME!
I've been taking kickboxing at South Side MMA since they opened and have really enjoyed the classes. Coach Marco and the overall team are very knowledgeable and I like the teaching style. Even in a group setting, they still provide exceptional 1:1 guidance.
They have 4 black belt instructors. So they always have a black belt on the mat teaching both the adults and kids classes. Tons of mat space and clean facilities. Positive environment for all levels from beginners to fighters. They teach all sides of jiu jitsu; competition gi and no gi, self defense and MMA.
My son been going here little over a year. He Loves it!! All the instructors are all very skilled and knowledgeable of what they do. There dedication they put in in every student is noticeable.The facility is always Kept clean and alot space for everyone to train. Don't think twice join you wont regret it!!!
New to kickboxing? Start at Southside Mixed Martial Arts
Southside Mixed 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 Southside Mixed 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.
