From the reviews
Where do I start. Master Joaquin runs, in my opinion, a world class training facility. He is strict, yet understanding. He encourages and pushes his students to reach their maximum potential. He has the respect of his students and parents.
Back in January 2022 I searched around Central and Southern Atlanta, to find a mixed martial arts school. Out of all of the schools I looked into Oh Do Kwan MMA is the most authentic! This school is unmatched to all in this area, from price range, to drilling, sparring, and a friendly environment!
We highly recommend Oh Do Kwan Striking Academy for anyone looking to learn martial arts. Our two boys started at 5 years old. The instructors are incredibly patient and knowledgeable (Joaquin, Bryce, and Brandon).
When we moved to Fayetteville we also looked for another studio our children can continue to train. Glad my husband found Oh Do Kwan - ever since we walked in the door we felt welcomed. Mr Juoaquin and his son Bryce are the best of the best when training all ages.
New to kickboxing? Start at Fayetteville Muay Thai & Kickboxing - Oh Do Kwan Striking Academy
Fayetteville Muay Thai & Kickboxing - Oh Do Kwan Striking Academy 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 Fayetteville Muay Thai & Kickboxing - Oh Do Kwan Striking 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.
