From the reviews

This place goes above and beyond for you and your kids. My daughter does kids jiu-jitsu and kick boxing and I do adults jiu-jitsu class. If it wasn't for this place starting a 5 am class I don't think I would have been able to start my jiu-jitsu life think you coach ryan

★★★★★ — Ross, Apr 2022

I got my son involved in Jiu-jitsu @Stock Martial Arts over a year ago. I signed up shortly after, we've been training with Coach Ryan for a while now. Ryan is a great coach, super friendly, very knowledgeable. Stock Martial Arts is great place to learn, a really positive atmosphere.

★★★★★ — Soriya, Jul 2023

Our children attended Stock Martial Arts before we moved out of state. Leaving SMA was one of the hardest parts of the move for our family. Coach Ryan is a skilled and dedicated teacher. He works the kids hard, but with lots of compassion and humor. He’s fostered confidence, discipline, kindness, toughness in our kids.

★★★★★ — Priv, Jan 2024

New to kickboxing? Start at Stock Martial Arts

Stock Martial Arts 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 Stock 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.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
