From the reviews
Amazing place. I started out going to Spartan for a college PE credit doing bjj in fall 2017. Coach Tom was nice enough to let me attend any class at the gym for the duration of my time at Spartan for school.
I started to take classes a month ago and I can honestly say, that the gym has become a place for me I want to come back again and again. Spartan has unique atmosphere of great coaching and so helpful, respectful teammates. BJJ classes with coach Tom are so interesting, structured and disciplined.
I've been going to Spartan for about 2 years now. I can say that I've had a great experience there. Coach Tom is incredibly professional and knowledgeable. The gym is very clean. It's even cleaned between classes.
I walked in here with no martial arts experience, just looking for something to help me get in shape. I'm currently just in the BJJ, but I'm loving it! I was scared and intimidated when I walked through the door for the first time, not really knowing what to expect.
New to kickboxing? Start at Spartan Martial Arts Gym
Spartan Martial Arts Gym 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 Spartan Martial Arts Gym
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.
