From the reviews
A Truly Transformative Experience! My two children have been attending The Pound Martial Arts for the past five years, and the growth I’ve seen in them has been incredible. They’ve gained so much more than just martial arts skills — their confidence, leadership abilities, and emotional regulation have all flourished.
HIGHLY RECOMEND! My daughter started here last year and she has loved it! The instructors are amazing and the kids really have a good time while learning Respect and Confidence as well as many other skills! There are classes offered for all ages! And they also do fun stuff with the community too!
My teenage son started here 9 months ago and it has been amazing to see his progress, not just with his karate skills, but in his discipline, composure, and strength. He loves spending time both in and out of The Pound with his new karate friends!
My son has been learning Brazilian Jujitsu at The Pound for about 6 years. The instructors are dedicated to teaching proper technique & discipline. They chat about daily life challenges & ways to resolve problems. Having The Pound as an extra outlet has truly been a positive influence for my son!
New to muay thai? Start at The Pound Martial Arts Center
The Pound Martial Arts Center comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. 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 The Pound Martial Arts Center
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.
