From the reviews
This is the best martial arts school in the area! Coach Nolan and Coach Kon are amazing instructors! They teach Kickboxing and Jiu Jitsu. All training sessions are very well structured and keep you very active throughout the class.
I'm absolutely loving my Kickboxing classes! The instructors, Coach Kon and Coach Nolan, are truly exceptional - knowledgeable, passionate, and dedicated to helping us improve. Their enthusiasm is contagious, making every session an absolute blast. I'm constantly inspired by their expertise and energy.
My first experience with Union Martial Arts was as a parent bringing my younger children to kickboxing classes. They have been involved in many sports and even other martial arts, but grew tired of each of them. Union Martial Arts is the first activity that they were always begging us to go to more often!
Union Martial Arts has been an amazing experience for my two daughters. Since joining, I’ve seen such a positive change in their confidence, discipline, and focus. The instructors are patient, professional, and truly care about each child’s growth—both in martial arts and in life skills.
New to kickboxing? Start at Union Martial Arts
Union Martial Arts 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 Union Martial Arts
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.
