Awesome gym with kickboxing classes instructed by Walker Viven, who has lived,trained, and fought in Thailand and Las Vegas. He has returned home to share his knowledge and skills. Children and adult classes available Monday-Friday 530p and 630p. All skill levels are welcome. First class is free!

★★★★★ — Parker, Jan 2020

This place is amazing. Good training and coaching. I train here and it has taught me how to defend myself. Such as throwing a punch and a kick. I love this gym and I will always be glad to be apart of this family. P.S first class is free if you are just trying it out.

Your first kickboxing class at Carolina Kickboxing Academy

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.
