From the reviews
It was an experience. I recently attended a kickboxing and BJJ class, and I must say I was pleasantly surprised by the experience. From the moment I walked in, I felt a sense of safety and comfort that is essential for any martial arts class. The instructor's professionalism was truly impressive.
I walked in with my son out of curiosity and i spoke to coach John . Coach John is a super chill laid back individual! Coach John broke down the gym to me and the way they go about in the gym and is a perfect fit for me and my son .
Jon is one of the most knowledgeable and humble coaches I’ve ever come across. His classes are fun and people get to bond over the love of martial arts. I have felt myself gaining more confidence and feel better about my body after every class. Everybody is super nice and supportive when you are new.
I'll admit I was a bit intimidated walking into a gym full of guys and had no idea what I was getting myself into but it's a very relaxed atmosphere. John has made my friend and I feel comfortable, he makes sure we understand the moves and he let's us be our goofy selves haha.
New to kickboxing? Start at ThinkTANK BJJ & Kickboxing
ThinkTANK BJJ & Kickboxing 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 ThinkTANK BJJ & Kickboxing
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.
