From the reviews

We love the Cardona family! My grandson is picked up daily from school and goes to the aftercare program. He does his homework, takes karate class, and plays. It gives me peace of mind that he is being cared for by a loving and respectful staff.

I recently joined this karate school, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the instructors were incredibly knowledgeable and patient.

★★★★★ — Victor, Mar 2025

Enreoling my son at Cardona’s Academy was a turning point in his life. 🥋 Before starting, he was hesitant to try new things, but now, he’s more confident, disciplined, and eager to take on challenges. He trains in Karate, Jiu-Jitsu, and participates in Sparring Fridays, which have transformed his mindset and skills.

★★★★★ — Evelyn, Mar 2025

My daughter comes here for the summer camp & breaks. Looking forward to the summer camp 2026 ahead with Cardonas!! I hope to put her in one of the classes soon, if I do I’ll make sure to update this review. All the staff is so kind but about out to the front desk. Miss Izzy is so kind, professional and informative.

Your first kickboxing class at CARDONAS ACADEMY OF MARTIAL ARTS

Nervous about walking into a kickboxing 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 the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics 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.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
