From the reviews
I’ve been training at the Void for a few years, focusing on jiujitsu with Bart, Lin, and Mars—three exceptional black belt instructors. I also can’t get enough of the morning yoga classes. The atmosphere here is second to none—welcoming, supportive, and fun. To me, the instructors are the heart of the dojo.
Great small mma school with traditional martial arts roots. Wonderful group who build each other up to meet and exceed their potential. Attentive and knowledgeable instructors. Been a student there since 2018, it’s the best decision I’ve made for both my mental and physical health.
I dropped in to train at The Void mid December and had a great experience from start to finish. One of the ladies training there (the amazing Lex) actually beat me at a jiu jitsu tournament.
Been going for 2 years and still loving it! Coaches are so patient, the smaller atmosphere and classes means more personal engagement and fine tuning of technique. Having all skill levels in the same class was an adjustment, but even the students help each other. We were all beginners once, right?
New to kickboxing? Start at The Void Martial Arts
The Void Martial Arts 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 Void 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.
