From the reviews
The Foundry is such a great place to workout. The classes are challenging but fun and the coaches are great people. The BJJ program is good for anyone from beginner to black belt. Whether you’d like to fight MMA or learn to defend yourself, there is a good class for that.
I cannot say enough about where Maddy Roth has taken the gymnastics program, especially with the equipment & budget she has to work with. I came from a world class gym in IL that had everything needed for training.
Beaufort Brawl 2! The Foundry is an exceptional gym, they have gymnastics, weight lifting, MMA training, and fitness classes! #MASrealestateadvisors #coastalhomessouthcarolina #beaufortsc
I’ve had an amazing experience with The Foundry Jiu Jitsu & Boxing so far. I originally brought my two teenagers in to try jiu-jitsu, and my daughter is also interested in boxing. We were first recommended to the classes by Abe, who owns and also teaches there, and that recommendation turned out to be spot on.
New to kickboxing? Start at The Foundry
The Foundry 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 Foundry
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.
