From the reviews
I wanted to thank Sensei Ruocco on having such an outstanding Martial Arts facility and after school program. When I was interested in finding a school for a friend of mine,I checked out several in the area. Yours by far was the best that I observed.
Our Family loves IMAA. We have four members of our Family currently training there. The atmosphere is focused, clean and positive. It really is a Martial Arts Family feeling. We attend several classes a week and as parents have seen so may improvements in our children since joining.
I can honestly say my single greatest decision so far this year is joining the team at IMAA. It’s actually the best decision I’ve made in quite some time. Sensei Ruocco is a first class teacher. His staff is excellent and really hands on.
IMAA is an incredible school! I highly recommend it to everyone. The atmosphere is family oriented and the staff is very welcoming. My 13 year old son has been going since the age of 7 and has loved going to the dojo since day one. The positive changes he has made are amazing.
Your first muay thai class at International Martial Arts Academy World Headquarters
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.
