From the reviews
I signed up about 2 months ago to get out of my comfort zone and after the first class I was hooked. I walked in with slim to no experience but the growth from week to week was exponential with coach connor.
Connor's a great coach. Having equipment provided for beginners is a huge plus. Great mix of basic instruction with optional sparring at the end of class. Really fun and respectful environment and the gym is growing quickly!
Connor is very knowledgeable and obviously loves teaching mma, kickboxing etc. He’s great at breaking down the movements to enable newcomers to learn easily. Definitely recommend checking out Oasis MMA!
Anytime I'm in erie this is the place i stop to train. Great coach, great experience, and good people. Definitely recommend to anyone looking to train in the area.
New to kickboxing? Start at The Oasis MMA Academy
The Oasis MMA Academy 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 The Oasis MMA Academy
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.
