It’s been nothing but positive vibes at Guzman Karate. My kids are learning self defense techniques as well as Respect, Discipline, Dedication, and Self confidence. The Sensei’s and Junior leaders are great!!!

★★★★★ — Louie, Nov 2023

I tried different martial arts schools before coming to Guzman Martial Arts, and the difference was huge. At the first place, they mostly expected me to copy the moves without really explaining them, which made it difficult to learn.

★★★★★ — Joselyn, Jun 2026

Thank you to Master Sensei Eli Guzman. Also to all the other staff at Guzman Sport Karate/Kickboxing. My daughter is currently enrolled at the dojo, and she has learned and grown so much being a part of this program. I hope she continues on her journey to become a black belt someday!

Your first kickboxing class at Guzman Championship Martial Arts

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.
