From the reviews
Both of my kids love going to Seven Spears Martial Arts Academy. They are happy going to class, enjoy training with Miss Stephanie and Mr. Eddie, and have fun with the other kids in the classes.
Started due to having friends in the gym. I've had a great experience every single time I've attended class! Stephanie and the other instructors are attentive and care about you and your goals. The class fosters an engaging and constructive environment and community.
My six year old has been attending Seven Spears for over a year now. Since starting, he has become more focussed, disciplined and told me to write "it is so fun!" It really is a family and they are very communicative and patient with the little ones!
Seven Spears has an AMAZING kids program. A friend highly recommended we check this place out and so happy we did. My son has been going here for the past 6 months and LOVES it. We started with the kids Muay Thai program and just added the kids Jiu-Jitsu program as well.
New to BJJ? Start at 7 Spears Martial Arts and Muay Thai
7 Spears Martial Arts and Muay Thai comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never rolled or set foot on a mat, 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 or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard rolling — reputable gyms build fundamentals (positions, escapes, and basic submissions) for weeks, live rolling eases in gradually, and tapping early keeps every roll safe. 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, and leave your ego at the door. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first BJJ class at 7 Spears Martial Arts and Muay Thai
Nervous about walking into a BJJ 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 basic positions and escapes with a partner — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and a mouthguard if you have one — many gyms lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi (or a rashguard and shorts for no-gi) and a mouthguard. Live rolling eases in gradually, 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.
