From the reviews
I found Training Grounds when looking for BJJ-MMA for my son, who needed to build his physical self confidence and learn how to defend himself. I met with Coach Pete and immediately connected with him through his experience and understanding. My son has been training at TG for a couple of months now and loves it.
Our five-year old daughter has been attending Training Grounds’ Ninja class for three months now. She was not exposed to Martial Arts prior to the class and yet she began enjoying the jiu jitsu routines immediately.
TG (Training grounds) is such a great place for my child. I wasn’t sure he would take to it coming from Taekwondo. Although, from day 1 he was hooked and I credit that to TG.
We have recently signed up for Training Grounds MMA about 3 months ago. From the sign up experience to the whole training classes thus far everything has been great. The trainers Professor Wil and Peter have always been extremely great to deal with AND very technical and great trainers.
New to kickboxing? Start at Training Grounds Jiu-Jitsu & MMA
Training Grounds Jiu-Jitsu & MMA 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 Training Grounds Jiu-Jitsu & MMA
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.
