From the reviews
When I wanted a class for my sons to learn the basics without alot of fluff I was glad to find Fullmoon. Belts are a reward but not the focus. The focus is learning, mastery, confidence, and skill. I like watching them so much I now am on the mat as well.
After almost 2 months of boxing at Full Moon Martial Arts gym, I can confidently say my experience has been very positive and worthy of a 5 star review! I enjoy coming to class multiple days out of the week with my husband, which works around our regular Mon-Fri typical 9-5 full-time job for a reasonable price.
I have been in the boxing class Full Moon Martial Arts offers for around a month and both of the coaches there have taught me many things including how to properly throw and block punches, proper footwork, how to guard yourself at all times with your hands and arms , how to throw combos, ect.
I’ve been training at Full Moon for the past few months, and it has been an amazing experience. Full Moon is a very welcoming atmosphere. The Coaches are very motivating and whether you’re a beginner or an experienced fighter, they provide personalized attention and constructive feedback.
New to BJJ? Start at Full Moon Martial Arts - Carlson Gracie Team
Full Moon Martial Arts - Carlson Gracie Team comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Full Moon Martial Arts - Carlson Gracie Team
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.
