From the reviews
Triple Crown MMA is seriously the best! We've been coming since October and it has honestly changed our lives! My daughter does Jiu Jitsu and kids boxing and it has really helped her grow and become stronger and more disciplined and gave her a whole new group of great friends!
I Love my time at triple Crown mma. It’s aFamily friendly environment that really dives into the essence of MMA. Cedric is patient, thorough and encouraging to all levels of athletes. This is the most growth I’ve seen since starting training. 10/10 recommend BE FOREWARNED: You will WORK!
Dropped in for a class with my 5 year old and they couldn't have been any nicer. Super friendly and awesome with the kids. Took their time to make sure my daughter understood all the motions and helped her when she had any issues. Highly recommended.
Triple Crown MMA is an amazing place to train. My son and I started training earlier in the year and haven't regretted it for a moment. The instruction is stellar, the gym is clean and comfortable. Having recently moved from another state, I was worried about finding a place to re-start training.
New to kickboxing? Start at Triple Crown MMA Academy
Triple Crown MMA Academy 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 Triple Crown MMA Academy
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.
