From the reviews
I've trained here for almost ten years. The private lesson structure that they use has helped me to become a much better martial artist, much faster that at schools that only have group classes. Of course, there are group classes here as well, so you get the best of both worlds.
I’ve been going here for Tai Chi for over a year. The instructors are so patient and knowledgeable. I love the camaraderie of the classes and the friendships I’ve made. It’s helped me physically and mentally.
Great organization for adults and kids. Both my daughter and I go to classes here. Professional, fun, positive environment with very knowledgeable staff.
I've been training here for almost 3 years now, and have come to develop Kung-Fu as my main hobby. The instructors and Sifu are very friendly, respectful, and considerate. No matter your skill level, they treat you with the same dignity as everybody else, and never discriminate.
New to kickboxing? Start at Eastern Ways Martial Arts - Folsom
Eastern Ways Martial Arts - Folsom 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 Eastern Ways Martial Arts - Folsom
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.
