From the reviews

Joe & Michelle Chao have brought such an amazing school and experience to Hendersonville. The training provided by Joe is excellent - it is encouraging and in-depth. You come away feeling more confident, like you learned something and like you got a good workout.

★★★★★ — Alexa, Sep 2022

Hendokickboxing offers so much for the body and mind. My interest started purely for self defense as a woman looking to learn defense against anyone, but it became about more than that. I was quickly welcomed and felt so comfortable. I had no background or experience in any type of martial arts.

★★★★★ — Morgan, Jan 2025

We recently joined Hendo Kickboxing. Our experience thus far has been exceptional. The staff is great, the instruction is phenomenal and the atmosphere is welcoming. No matter what skill set you are walking in with, you will be supported and encouraged. Highly recommend for all ages!

★★★★★ — Jillian, Aug 2022

Your first kickboxing class at Hendokickboxing & Krav Maga

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.
