From the reviews
I selected The Academy of Martial Arts for my daughter based on people highly recommending them. She is now on the road to becoming a black belt. The instructors here are dedicated, professional & friendly. Your child is their main priority. The dojo is clean & well maintained.
We signed our daughter up after attending a free anti bully program and visiting there with girl scouts. We found there were always extra instructors on hand, a great big clean dojo. They are amazing. They have helped my daughter come out of her shell, and show such kindness towards everyone. It's like a family!
This place is absolutely incredible! The karate and kickboxing workout challenges me every time - in the best way possible. I always leave drenched in sweat and feeling stronger. I’ve never experienced such an intense workout anywhere else. If you want to build strength and push your limits, this is the place to be!!!!
Wonderful martial arts program in a motivational and non-intimidating environment. The most professional and friendly instructors you could ever meet.
New to kickboxing? Start at The Academy For Martial Arts
The Academy For 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 The Academy For 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.
