From the reviews
My son recently joined Stand Alone MMA to practice Brazilian Jiu Jitsu while attending college! He was welcomed the second he walked thru the door and later chatted with the owner who also gave him a warm welcome!
I think everyone should come to this gym because it's fun, it's healthy, the trainers are the best, the atmosphere is helpful/friendly, and I think the people at this gym genuinely get excited to train with new people and have new experiences.
I recently visited Standalone MMA Gym for my first Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu class, and I must say, it was an excellent experience. From the moment I walked in, Brandon, the owner, greeted me warmly and made me feel right at home.
I trained at StandAlone for years and all I can say is that StandAlone is quite simply the best. If you're brand new to the world of martial arts and feeling a little nervous about getting started this place will provide you with the patience and encouragement you need to succeed.
New to kickboxing? Start at Standalone MMA, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Boxing, Muay Thai Kickboxing and Fitness
Standalone MMA, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Boxing, Muay Thai Kickboxing and Fitness 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 Standalone MMA, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Boxing, Muay Thai Kickboxing and Fitness
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.
