Martial Arts classes in Flagstaff, Arizona. We offer Krav Maga, Kickboxing, MMA training for children and adults. Maximize your potential today!
My three kids and I have been training at Maximum for about four years and we’ve experienced most of their programs—Lil’ Dragons, juniors beginners, juniors advanced, adult martial arts, and kickboxing. Three of us will test for our black belts in September, so clearly we’re committed and biased. But my goals for this review are to 1. Brag on Team Maximum, and 2. Help you determine if Maximum is a good fit for you and your family. The curriculum at Maximum isn’t steeped in any one tradition. Instead, members get a broad foundation in both grappling and striking—sport and self-defense. In a typical class, participants might work flexibility, review technique, sweat it out on the bag, do partner combo mitt work, play out self-defense scenarios, and spar. There is a strong influence from Bill Superfoot Wallace, the undefeated kickboxing champ who leads a seminar at Maximum once a year, but generally I’d categorize what we do as modern mixed martial arts. That being said, in the kids’ program an appropriate amount of time is allocated to teaching values like respect, discipline, and courage. Another more traditional aspect of the culture is the junior assistant program that one of my sons participates in. Once a month one of the staff gives these tweens and teens practical training on topics like pad-holding, how to make a praise-correct-praise sandwich, and the importance of using students’ names. It’s very very cool to see my son learn teaching skills and get the kickback of helping others grow, and he looks forward to assisting the instructors in his Lil’ Dragons class every week. Overall, Maximum excels in creating an environment where students feel supported and challenged, and it’s my impression that everyone, staff, students, and parents, feels ownership of the community. I know I do. Shout out to Master Ginter, Master Dylan, Ms. Jocelyn, Ms. Nicole, and all the assistants. See you in class Wednesday!

Maximum took me by surprise with a warm welcome and professionalism. As soon as we signed up online for their free trial, we were welcomed by Jocelyn with a folder of information and free waterbottles. She gave us a tour and even had the kids break a board by the end of their first class. Maximum's instructors continue to be professional, caring, and go out of their way to assist the kids that need a little extra help. The extra curricular events they offer are just the cherry on top. I am extremely impressed by this facility. It is clear they have clear and smooth running systems and processes in place. This is the place to take your children! Couldn't recommend it enough!

Great instructors. They teach about physical and mental strength, important life lessons and self defense. Love the new location, so much more room for the kids to kick and punch. Always Strongly recommend. Give them 2 👍

My girls have been taking classes at Maximum Martial Arts for a few years and love it! I took a chance on a Mother's Day themed kick boxing class and ended up signing up for a 6 week course! The classes are hard but I really enjoy them. I have been an indoor cyclist for the past 3 years and after the first few weeks of kick boxing, I have seen amazing progress while spinning! My overall mileage has gone up 2 to 4 miles per class and the overall power has also gone way up. I can tell the classes have had a very positive impact to my overall fitness! I would absolutely recommend kick boxing classes at Maximum! Thank you Master Dylan, Master Ginter, Miss Jocylen, Miss Keyana, and Miss Nicole for helping me and my girls on our journeys!
