From the reviews
This place has been the single most influential part of my son's life the last 3 years. As a single mother, I am always looking extracurricular activities for my boys.
We’ve had such a wonderful experience at Champion over the past 3 years. My daughter has grown not only in skill, but in confidence and self-belief. The instructors are encouraging and truly care about each child’s progress.
I highly recommend Champion Martial Arts. The instructors bring a lot of energy to the class and help the kids learn in a non-threatening way. That doesn't mean that they're too easy on them. The kids in the class are good kids and I'm delighted to have my 9 year old around both the instructors and students.
I enrolled my 4 year old son into the tiger class, he's a very reserved and shy child and on the first day of class, he was afraid to even step onto the mat and was extremely timid to say the least.
New to kickboxing? Start at Champion Martial Arts
Champion Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at Champion 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.
