From the reviews
Master Kyle is an amazingly patient , knowledgeable and friendly person. He is an excellent role model to both adults and children. His experience in martial arts dates back many years and is truly a master at his craft.
I have to say, Black Belt Academy is amazing! The instructors are just fantastic and the classes are great. I can't recommend it enough! My younger brother has been attending their classes for some time now, and he has truly become a pro at the art of Taekwondo. Classes are something he finds truly enjoyable.
I can't say enough wonderful things about Black Belt Academy. Master Kyle is incredible with all the kids. He is extremely patient, knowledgeable, a great teacher, and the kids really look up to him. All the other class helpers are great with kids too. My son has been attending classes for over 2 years.
Master Kyle and his team are all phenomenal. Love the flexible schedule they offer to everyone. I appreciate the fact that they not only teach the lessons but they also make it fun for the students to retain. My child definitely looks forward to attending classes and practicing outside of class.
New to muay thai? Start at Black Belt Academy of Prince Frederick
Black Belt Academy of Prince Frederick 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 Black Belt Academy of Prince Frederick
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.
