From the reviews
My sons confidence has grown so much since he’s been training here. Even his school teachers have noticed. The instructors are great. You not only work together in a class setting but also in a one on one setting.
My son has been taking Taekwondo lesson here for last 3.5 years. The staff is very knowledgeable, personable and professional. They work with the kids on their level and help them to not only develop their martial arts skills but also life skills.
My son came to Hockman''s from a different ATA school, and he has enjoyed it from day one. The instructors are excellent and have a great rapport with the kids. The instructors work with the students closely and help them learn through constructive criticism and lots of individual attention.
I transferred to this studio from an ATA studio in a different state, and after spending a few years at both, I can confidently say this studio is ran very efficiently and professionally. The instructors are very nice and are willing to help students as much as they need.
Your first kickboxing class at Hockman's ATA 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.
