From the reviews
After having our son try sports for a while and him telling us "sports just aren't my thing" my wife and I looked around to try him help find what his thing might be. We came across Impact Martial Arts and figured we should give it a try. After the first trial night we all knew we found his thing!
My son started going to Impact Martial Arts on October 3rd. He LOVES it. He’s a very shy kid and it takes him a while to warm up to people but Sensei Chris and Sensei Corey make him feel so comfortable that he’s slowly but surely started to talk to them! He gets so excited when he’s told it’s karate day.
Impact Martial Arts is truly a family-based martial arts school. The instructors have a combined 60+ years of martial arts experience and martial arts instruction experience.
Amazing instructors running a great program. They're adopting to the pandemic with multiple layers of sanitary practices being implemented as well for everyone's safety. Kudos to this great school!
New to BJJ? Start at Impact Martial Arts
Impact Martial Arts 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 Impact Martial Arts
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.
