**READ THIS IF YOURE A BEGINNER FEMALE GOING INTO MARTIAL ART** ‍…read more LONG review incoming because I was looking for this exact type of information when I was deciding whether I wanted to try martial arts/this gym/etc. For context: I'm a 30 y/o female & complete beginner. Zero knowledge about martial arts, not even the slightest. i didn't even work out regularly before this. Very on & off at the gym w/ weight lifting (been off for 2 years). Recent years, I've just been an Office 9-5 corporate baddie. so here's my honest take after being here for 1 month. General gym facility: - good size (feels both spacious and home-y) - split into 2 separate training areas, so there can be different things going on without everyone being on top of each other - vending machine w/ water, Gatorade, Red Bull, etc, I already grabbed multiple Red Bulls, you don't realize how good it hits until after class - they have a TV in the center - speakers (so yes, they blast music ) - tons of mirrors, which I personally love - also think there's a sauna?? - a bench in the middle of the gym where you can sit and watch classes. Bathrooms:: - female/male bathrooms are separate - cubby/box cabinet area where you can put your belongings during class - mirrors - hand soap & sanitizer Free 1 Week Trial: You can take as many classes as you'd like during your free week. The sign up for free trial was easy, submitted my info and someone reached out to me next business day. The woman on the phone was friendly. She checked in afterward to see how I liked everything, answered my questions, and the part I respected the most - nobody was hounding me to sign up. During your free trial, you can borrow if you're brand new and don't have everything yet. I borrowed boxing gloves my first day. I signed up for 2 classes during my free trial, strike fit and Muay Thai. I got wrecked after strike fit. Sore for 4+ days... so I texted to see if I could just observe Muay Thai. She said yes, and went ahead and signed me up for another free class later in the week. THE VIBE: probably the biggest thing for me. The people I've interacted with have all been really nice. There's also a pretty wide age range. I've seen kids, teenagers all the way through adults probably in their 50s, so it doesn't feel like you walked into a gym where everyone is 21 and training to fight professionally tomorrow. I sit somewhere in the middle age-wise, but physically?? Baby, I am GASSZED after class. & I actually like that. Strike fit is like a conditioning class. Right now I'm focused on learning the foundations, coordination, & STAMINA because I'm really not a cardio person. After a month, I feel like I'm already improving. I don't feel judged for slowing down, in fact I feel encouraged to keep going.. THE COACH: So far I've only trained under Coach Alex, (the other coach is Coach Murph- I think he leads the MMA and BJJ no gi class) so I can only speak directly about my experience with Coach Alex. He's super friendly and very easy to get comfortable with. He isn't pushy during training. He'll come around and give plenty of corrections/adjustments. Theres so much to learn! My first day I told him w/in 10 seconds of meeting him, "I don't work out at all. Like at all. My only goal today is to not walk out." So he knew wsup News flash: I did NOT walk out. In fact, I came back & signed up for their membership I've never felt like a bother asking questions. I've yapped after class, and Coach Alex has taken the time to talk to me about BJJ, self-defense, different classes, etc. That matters to me because I'm not just looking for somewhere to burn calories.. I actually want to challenge myself to do something completely out of my comfort zone and take care of 'ME.' AS A WOMAN STARTING MARTIAL ARTS:: My biggest concern is space in BJJ. Muay Thai is stand up so that's not a hurdle I need to mentally get over. BJJ is obviously VERY up close and personal. I ended up meeting another female during a bathroom encounter. both beginners and want to take BJJ class and both care about space. We made a pact to try BJJ and Muay Thai class back-back next week. perfect!because we can literally tell each other to fuck off if we need to ((this is also to say, ppl here really are friendly)) Overall, I've felt really comfortable here. If you're a woman interested in martial arts but you're nervous/ out of shape/don't know what equipment you need/you're worried you're going to walk in and feel awkward, this genuinely is a really comfortable place to start. ~ if you got this far in the review, that means you're 99% there. try it and find me! time to get our shit rockeddddd

I got into martial arts in 2023. Overweight, insecure, and misdirected. I was looking for a way to…read moreget in shape and continue grappling sports but what I came across went way beyond fitness. Wildcat offers MMA, Muay Thai, boxing, and BJJ, and the level of coaching is elite. However, what truly separates Wildcat from other gyms (at least in my opinion) is the people. It's not just that the coaches are high level fighters and technicians that are honest people who care about your growth - everyone here is like family. Coach Alex in particular has had a huge impact on me. His guidance helped me build discipline, confidence and direction. As well as how to apply those lessons to life. He pushes you when you need it, not want it. He'll support you if you're struggling, and genuinely wants the best for you. Coach Murph has always looked out for me, helping me fine tune my technique and pushing me to level up. Having Coach Murph in your corner makes all the difference. I've been in martial arts 3 years and have tried a few places before finding my home with Alex and Wildcat. I can say with confidence that you want to be here - whether you're brand new, experienced, or trying to compete, everyone is treated with respect and encouraged to grow at their own pace. If youre seeking somewhere to train, improve yourself, and be surrounded by positive, driven people. You've found it. Joining Wildcat was the best decision I've ever made.

I cannot recommend KravZone highly enough, especially for parents looking to enroll their children…read morein Krav Maga classes. My experience with their kids' program has been nothing short of exceptional, hats off to the incredible instructor, Travis! From day one, it was evident that Travis was not only highly skilled in Krav Maga but also knew the knack of teaching and working with children. Whether a child was struggling with a technique or excelling at it, Travis was present very watchfully, providing guidance, support, and positive reinforcement. One of the things that stood out to me the most was Travis's ability to create a supportive and encouraging environment for the kids. Moreover, he has a unique talent for breaking down complex techniques into simple, easy-to-understand steps, making it accessible and observable for children of all skill levels. What stood out to me in particular was his own values, principles and attitude which in my opinion are of paramount importance especially while teaching life skills to others. Beyond his technical expertise, Travis also instilled important values such as team work, discipline, respect, and self-confidence in the children. Through his teaching, my child not only gained valuable self-defense skills but also developed a sense of empowerment and self-assurance that extends beyond the mat. Beth, who is also an instructor and helps with the front desk, is extremely patient and helpful with any questions and a great teacher herself from the classes I've observed! If you're considering enrolling your child in Krav Maga classes, look no further than Krav Zone!
