From the reviews
First impressions mean everything to me when introducing my special needs child to a new environment. We attended a private lesson for the first time and it was an awesome experience. They took the time to ask important questions and paid close attention to how my child engaged in activities provided.
FEKS is an awesome gym with an amazing staff. I've only been training there for around 6 months now, but beyond the intense training in techniques and fitness, I love the fact that Master Bruce and his family really do feel like friends and a second family.
It can be difficult while traveling to find a welcoming combat sports gym to drop in on, which made me feel so lucky to have found this place. Sensei Bruce immediately replied to my trial inquiry (quick form on their website), and within a half hour I had plans to get a kickboxing session in.
The instructors and environment at FEKS are absolutely stellar. Our expectations have been more than exceeded by every aspect. Our ten-year old daughter has gained discipline, confidence, and so much joy in her learning at FEKS. We love FEKS, all the instructors, and the incredible camaraderie that goes on here.
Your first kickboxing class at FEKS Martial Arts Center
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.
