From the reviews

I love DPMA because all of the instructors are motivating and help us grow stronger and more skilled! They have helped me progress to a blue belt (testing next week for blue with a stripe). It's not only about learning karate though, they also make it a lot of fun! I highly recommend it! - Dylan (age 7)

★★★★★ — Bethany, Jun 2023

After checking out a few places to sign my son up for martial arts, this is the place he chose. He instantly loved the energy professor Dwire had when he met with him one on one and attended a couple classes. All the teachers have been great with him including the young leaders in the skills and drills classes.

★★★★★ — Nicole, Jun 2023

THE Best place to go for a family to learn martial arts. The Owner and Instructors are top notch! They make you feel like part of the family and not just another person that comes and goes. If my family and I had not moved out of state. I have no doubt that we would still be attending classes.

★★★★★ — Geoff, Aug 2024

Any doubt you have in yourself, your abilities, or your child's abilities will dissolve after you become part of the Dragon-Phoenix Martial Arts and Fitness Family. The instructors care about each student and their results. You matter at Dragon-Phoenix! I highly recommend!

Your first kickboxing class at Dragon-Phoenix Martial Arts & Fitness

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.
