From the reviews
Zimmerman’s Freestyle Martial Arts is AMAZING! I love the atmosphere, instructors and the variety of classes and times! My daughter has not only gained confidence, but the ability to defend herself. She has grown stronger and made new friends. I would 100% recommend Zimmerman’s!
Zimmerman's Freestyle Martial Arts is TOP NOTCH. What started out as nothing more than a curiosity about martial arts soon turned into a lifestyle for our six-year-old son. The instructors are phenomenal. Mr. Johnson connects so well with the youngins and has been a mentor and a positive role model for our son. Mr.
My son, Adam, came to Zimmerman’s 2 years ago as a red belt, and has truly found his place here! He has thrived and found his karate family! I joined the ladies kickboxing class just over a year ago, and have enjoyed working out with and meeting other women!
The best learning experience at the ZFMA! Mr. Josh Zimmerman, Ms. Katie Zimmerman, Mr. Smith and Mr. Johnson are a motivated group of highly trained professionals with vast experience in multiple aspects of martial arts training!
New to kickboxing? Start at Zimmerman’s Freestyle Martial Arts, LLC
Zimmerman’s Freestyle Martial Arts, LLC 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 Zimmerman’s Freestyle Martial Arts, LLC
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.
