From the reviews
I been training Martial Arts for several years and always been a fan of MMA. Both locations of Holbrook and Riverhead are perfect if you’re looking for martial arts as beginners or experienced people. In fighting, experience is really everything and you will definitely find that here in Vamos.
My five year old son and I have been going to Vamos mixed martial arts for a year and a half now. There mixed martial arts program is one of the best on the island. Couldn’t ask for more. All their instructors are awesome. Very happy with their facility. Highly recommended.
My son (8) and I have been part of this gym for 2 years and are very happy with instruction and community in general. It became like our second home between both our classes we are here everyday getting better and skillful.
Great training, coaching, community and competition. Love both locations Riverhead and Holbrook
New to kickboxing? Start at Vamos MMA & Jiu Jitsu
Vamos MMA & Jiu Jitsu 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 Vamos MMA & Jiu Jitsu
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.
