Lower South Providence

Strongly recommend this gym for any folks in the New England area and beyond whether you're a…read morenovice or expert! Absolutely love the facilities, staff, and classes provided: as a young woman, there's nothing better than feeling empowered and welcomed in a martial arts space -- keep doing what you do best!

After going to Atomic Kickboxing for several months and wanting to learn more of the MMA side of…read morekickboxing/Muay Thai, I decided to give Burke's a try. As a female, at first I was super intimidated walking into a class full of guys grunting and shouting, but was relived to see more and more girls after each class. Coming to Muay Thai became something I looked forward to each week and felt accomplished when I improved on form or technique. Each class is different so it always feels fresh while building upon things already learned. Jaimeson and Num are awesome and take the time to break things down and give you 1-on-1 instruction within the group class setting. More importantly, they make it fun while still challenging and teaching. The progression and testing system helps you be motivated to hit progress goals, but chill enough for those looking to do it with no pressure as a hobby/exercise. Jaimeson is also really great at checking in with you when you fall off your practice - which is nice to have to stay accountable. I will miss Burke's and wish I had been able to train here for longer before moving!

I was astounded to find zero reviews for Inner Strengths. Both my boys now 7 and 13 have been…read moreattending Jiu-Jitsu classes here for about a year. The instructors are patient and kind. They work very hard to teach the kids respect, discipline and technique while helping build their self esteem. Previously both of my children had taken karate classes at the YMCA and while they enjoyed it, didn't learn very much. The children's classes are taught Sensei Candace, Coach Robin and Coach Victor, Candace's son Sensei Jacob, as well as a few others but I don't remember all the names. Classes are Co-Ed and ages range from 3-13. Typically younger, smaller children are paired up for grappling. Kids classes are held Monday's and Wednesday's 5:00-6:00 and Saturdays 10:00-11:00 am. My younger and older son participates in this class but my older one participates in the adult class as well. The adult classes are held Mon and Wed 6:15-8:15, Thurs 6:00-8:00, Friday 7:00-9:00pm and Saturday 11:30-1:00pm. Women's only self defense classes, anti-bullying classes, and stress management seminars are offered as well. Coach Robin is a licensed massage therapist and offers shiatsu massage, deep tissue, Thai, reflexology and Swedish massage. Sensei Candace is also a Reiki Master and does sessions by appointment only. She has really great positive energy. They also offer children's birthday parties. Prices are very reasonable and you can attend as many classes as you would like. My oldest sometimes goes as much as 5 times a week. He has grown very much in only a year here and is currently preparing to compete in the Naga Tournament in May.

It's easy to miss this place. Sadly it doesn't come up on Google. I was referred here by a Mom…read morewhile my youngest was attending boxing classes, otherwise I would probably never found out what a gem it is. Sensei Candace is one of the kindest people I've ever met. The patience she demonstrates with these kids is amazing. Her calm energy seems to keep them focused and on track. She has a way that makes them want to make her proud of them. She's everyone's ninja mother, lol. Both my kids take classes here. My oldest takes adult and kid classes. They work on strength training, grappling and moves. At first I wasn't sure he was ready for the adult class but Sensei Candace reassured me that he would do great. He has a background in wrestling and is able to use his grappling skills acquired from that. He's learned a lot from the adults and has a lot of respect for them. He struggles with ADHD and this has really helped him with self control and focus. Her prices are extremely reasonable considering how many people she has on staff and how frequently you can attend classes. It's a great jiu jitsu school for adults and children.
