What type of self defense training should I expect during class?

Streetwise Martial Arts specializes in armed attacker defense, unarmed attacker defense, striking and ground fighting skills, and takedowns. Everything is geared towards learning how to defend yourself in an unavoidable violent confrontation.

​

What’s the community like at SWMA?

Community is a big priority for us. We expect everyone to maintain a peaceful and respectful mindset, both in and out of the studio. It’s important to keep in mind that we are all training partners to each other and on the same team. 

​

Do I need any prior experience to join Streetwise Martial Arts?

Absolutely not. We welcome students of all levels and backgrounds and will work with you to develop your skills and achieve your goals.

 

How can I sign up for my first class?

You can start with the Intro -> class #1 option in our website here. Then you can sign up for the class that works best for you in our schedule. Beginners are welcomed in all the classes that we offer.

 

What should I bring to my first class?

All you’ll need is comfortable gym attire, water, and a small towel for when you break a sweat. It’s also preferred that you bring footwear that is only worn indoors to ensure a sanitary training environment, although for your first class it is not required.

 

What should I expect if my first class is at CompleteBody 25 W 14th St?

When you arrive, use the stairs to the 2nd floor and sign in with reception. After signing in, the SWMA studio is straight down the hallway to the right of the reception desk. If you’re still not sure where to go, you can always ask reception for help.

​

What should I expect if my first class is at 500 or 519 8th Ave?

We’ll email you the floor and room # we’ll be in so you know exactly where to go. Just make sure you have your ID ready for reception.

 

How do I sign up for classes as a member?

You can sign up for classes as an existing member through our app.

​

What gear will I need if I decide to continue taking classes?

We ask that you get the following items AFTER your first class to ensure a safe training environment:

 

    • 7oz MMA gloves

    • Groin guard

    • Shin guards

    • Mouth guard

    • Boxing or wrestling footwear that are only worn indoors

 

Everything can be found for great prices on Amazon.
