From the reviews
Best place to get fit and learn martial arts. The gym has great instructors and a true team atmosphere with everyone helping each other. There is a wide range of ages and genders that join and train. I stopped wasting my money at typical gyms and started going here.
Excellent school and Instructors. MMA fighters train here. Karate, MMA, Wrestling, Nokaoi Martial Arts, Many guest artists do seminars here.
The only words to describe this place is family. Coach dan will forever be my coach the guys I work with will always be who I want to roll with and learn with before and after fights.
I've been bringing my boys (4 yrs and 5 yrs) for 6 months now and they love it! This is an authentic fight gym. This facility is large and clean. The people are welcoming. Coach Dan has decades of knowledge and experience and a passion to share it! He and Coach Eric are great with the kids and making class fun.
Your first kickboxing class at Thunder MMA Academy & Sports Fitness Center
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.
