From the reviews
This is one of the best gyms I have ever attended; the people here are more than just staff they are friends. and they know their craft. Every teacher I have in the different classes I attend are competent AND patient. This gym will make you want to come back for class after class and then stay to talk to friends.
I love it here! Coaches are really really kind. Pedro, the owner, Ariel and Jesus make me feel super welcomed! I just started and they really help me adjust since I’m a beginner. I go to smaller classes and like that I can get that individual attention. They really help fine tune everything!
Passed by this place every day for the past 3 months finally decided to check this place out and boy am I glad I made the right decision. They have classes every day Monday - Saturday from beginners to more experienced. They make sure you are comfortable in the right class.
I started training here when I was 16. Been here in and out for so many years. I used to come here to release my stres and to throw some punches and now I’m coming with my daughter for take kwon do and in same time I’m able to take a boxing class with profesional and motivated coaches.
New to taekwondo? Start at Rumi Maki Boxing & Martial Arts
Rumi Maki Boxing & Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly school, going by their listing and students’ reviews. If you've never trained or set foot in a dojang, 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 instructors scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable schools build fundamentals (stances, blocks, kicks, and basic forms) for weeks, sparring eases in gradually and with gear on, and instructors keep it controlled and safe. Third, all ages and 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 schools are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first taekwondo class at Rumi Maki Boxing & Martial Arts
Nervous about walking into a taekwondo school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors 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 stances, blocks, and kicks with a partner or on pads — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: loose athletic wear you can move in (or a dobok if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the floor. What to bring: water and a positive attitude — many schools lend a loaner dobok for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll get your own dobok and belt, and sparring gear (mouthguard, headgear, and guards) once you begin sparring. Sparring eases in gradually, once your fundamentals and forms are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
