From the reviews
Been training at Bethpage for about seven months now and I genuinely love this place. Kru Rodney has been nothing but supportive and helpful. He listens, keeps a watchful eye, and knows exactly when to push you so you keep improving. Coach Pat is another huge asset.
I’ve been wanting to learn Kali for a while now and decided to take leap of faith and try a class. From the first class Kru Rodney, Coach Lindsay, and the students at BKA have been nothing but welcoming and treated me like family. I’ve been coming here for two months now training in Kali and Muay Thai.
Training at Bethpage Kickboxing Academy has been an incredible experience for both me and my son. We joined the Kali martial arts program, and it has quickly become one of the best activities we’ve ever done together.
Been at Bethpage Kickboxing for about 2 months now.. friendly owners, coaches and members. Great for anyone looking to get in shape or for those looking to seriously train and fight. Kickboxing Conditioning classes are a great workout and are regularly scheduled classes that align to most work schedules.
New to muay thai? Start at Bethpage Kickboxing Academy
Bethpage Kickboxing Academy 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 program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all 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 muay thai class at Bethpage Kickboxing Academy
Nervous about walking into a muay thai 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 on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals 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.
