From the reviews

My 10 year old who has never been involved any martial arts recently took his first class at Dojo Omaha. He loved every second of it. The instructors were great, the other kids played a huge role in welcoming him and helping him learn the techniques being taught.

★★★★★ — Eric, Oct 2025

An amazing facility (clean, showers in both men's and women's locker room, lots of space) top notch instructors! I have always felt welcomed here, even when I first started and was nervous to be in a room full of dudes! Everyone is chill and supportive of my goals.

★★★★★ — Christina, Feb 2025

I started training BJJ at the Axios Academy within the TacForce Training Center as an old guy with no grappling experience. The coaches are welcoming to all no matter skill level and experience, and the teammates/training partners all understand where you're at because they were there too at one point.

★★★★★ — Philip, Jul 2022

My teenage sons have trained at Dojo Omaha for 7 years. The first-rate training they receive has made them more confident and disciplined young men. They are both high school athletes and martial arts training has also strengthened their overall athletic performance.

New to kickboxing? Start at Dojo Omaha

Dojo Omaha comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Dojo Omaha

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.
