Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need prior experience in Martial Arts to start?

Our martial arts classes don’t require you to have any prior experience. We start you from the ground up with a good foundation.

As a beginner, do I need to spar?

Not we don’t allow it. When you are new to the martial arts the priority should be on drilling and learning the moves. You can also do light positional training to develop the fluidity you need. In our beginner martial arts classes you should expect to drill a lot and get a good workout but not engage in any hard sparring until you are ready.

My main priority is fitness. Can I expect to lose weight and gain muscle when training martial arts?

Absolutely. Your body is going to be pushed to the max and you should expect to not only burn a lot of calories but also to have the resistance training necessary to gain muscle. Martial arts classes will build an athletic, toned physique.

What kind of equipment do I need?

Kickboxing requires 16oz gloves and wraps. Jiu-Jitsu requires a jiujitsu gi. Some students feel more comfortable with a mouthpiece as well.

How effective is martial arts for real world self defense?

The martial arts we teach are brazilian jiu-jitsu, wrestling, and kickboxing. The combination of those three martial arts have proven their efficacy time and time again in mixed martial arts competition.

Do I need to be in shape before I start training martial arts?

No, all of our martial arts classes are designed to give you martial arts specific cardio and strength. You don’t need to be in shape before you start.

Wil and the rest of the staff are amazing. I have seen them work with a huge variety of skill sets and ages. They are amazing with young kids and adults and they make sure every move is explained in detail so that you aren't learning the wrong way. The gym is very clean and the people are very friendly. I highly recommend Training Grounds to anyone looking for great exercise, self-defense training or discipline for their children. Professor Wil and the rest of the coaching staff are incredible. They make sure to explain everything in detail so that you don’t spend your time learning things the wrong way. As someone new to martial arts you don’t really know ifs the place you are choosing was the right choice. But at Training Grounds it was apparent from the start. The success of their students and the way I have been treated are a testament to their quality. I highly recommend Training Grounds martial arts.

Some martial arts schools are just interested in getting you to sign up and it's a belt factory where you are just a number at a crowded gym with no support. Others I have been to have instructors with big egos and you don’t feel comfortable asking questions. I’ve actually had a few small memberships at other martial arts schools and it was apparent that they didn’t really have a set martial arts curriculum and you feel like nothing really connects. I am a physical therapist and treat patients for a living and really didn’t want to go to a martial arts school where I would get hurt and be out from work. Training Grounds is a very controlled environment that gives you lots of personal attention and where you can safely learn martial arts.

I’ve been here a year now and love it. I like how Professor Wil takes the time to explain things and make sure you know what you're doing. At 42 I’ve never trained in martial arts before. It's not just the instructors but also the more advanced students that take the time to help you out. I look forward to training here for a very long time and reaching black belt.

I’ve only been here for a few months so my initial impressions are that if you are beginneryou will get lots of personal attention. They don’t just cater to the more advanced or senior students. Everyone gets treated the same. Students are very helpful and there is a great atmosphere. Professor Wil explains things in a very easy to understand and fluid manner. I personally have an injury and Professor Wil even customizes the curriculum for me to train around it. It's definitely not a one size fits all type of place.
