From the reviews

We are impressed and thankful to have found Straight Path! Sensei Joe is passionate in working with these children! So grateful for Sensei’s goals to partner with parents in many ways and we especially appreciate his focus to teach and encourage strong character traits and building confidence in the kids.

★★★★★ — Mindy, Apr 2024

Sensei Joe is the best of the best. I started training with him when I was 6 years old and continued until he moved out of New York when I was 21. Growing up with him as a teacher and mentor truly shaped me into who I am today.

★★★★★ — Megan, Aug 2024

Straight Path Martial Arts and Sensei Joe Silbers have been instrumental in my three boys’ growth in fitness, friendship, self-control, discipline, and confidence. The boys know to focus, listen, and respond confidently. They have learned to support each other as well.

★★★★★ — Noelle, Aug 2024

I have 2 kids who are doing kickboxing with Sensei Joe. Im so happy we were recommended this place by our dear friends and neighbors. My kids are learning so much.l about self defense and discipline. They often quote Sensei Joe, and wee use his advice to get them to listen.

New to kickboxing? Start at Straight Path Martial Arts

Straight Path 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 Straight Path 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.
