From the reviews
To me, the 3 most important things in a martial arts gym are: 1. Detail-oriented instruction 2. Friendliness of students and staff 3. Cleanliness BJJ United excels in all 3 aspects. The instructors are great,everyone gets attention and they teach you the intricacies that are so important in all martial arts.
United has been my second home since 2017. From beginner to now brown belt. They have shown me so much love and patience. They’ve helped develop my skills not only in jiu-jitsu (combative training) but in character and self-improvement. They offer all types of classes.
I’ve been training at United Arts for 9 years now, and I can honestly say it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. This place has been a second home to me—more than just a gym, it’s a real community. The coaches are legit. They know their stuff inside and out, but more importantly, they know how to teach it.
United arts is an awesome place to train. I visited Mon who used to train with me out in California and i wanted to see where she currently trains. She is definitely training at an amazing place. She’s in good hands. When i was there i took a Saturday class which was taught by Tom and the class was great.
New to kickboxing? Start at United Arts
United 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 United 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.
