From the reviews

One of the few places where you can find great jiujitsu, great kickboxing, AND great MMA. I’ve been at TNT for just about four years now. Tim and Tamayah have created an atmosphere that is welcoming, exciting, and meaningful.

★★★★★ — Noah, Nov 2022

I have recently joined this gym less than a month ago and I am already hooked to the place. The instructors are very knowledgeable and talented. Even though its been less than a month, I already feel part of the community.

★★★★★ — Vidit, Feb 2025

Great experience with great people. I felt welcome from the moment I came in and I’m glad to be part of the team. This gym has live roll and multiple disciplines, and the instructors are devoted to ensuring you learn and understand.

★★★★★ — Jonathan, Feb 2025

I have been involved combat sports for almost 16 years. I’m a brown belt in Brazilian JiuJitsu from Maryland and decided to search for a home here in the Columbia area. I had shopped around for gyms for a few months until I walked through the doors at TNT.

New to kickboxing? Start at TNT Martial Arts & Fitness

TNT Martial Arts & Fitness 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 TNT Martial Arts & Fitness

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.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
