From the reviews
I’ve made some great memories being here at this gym! The coach is intellectually sound, and you can tell he loves teaching and showing his practices to his students. Can’t say enough great things about this gym! The whole family loves it!
I've had an amazing experience at this gym. The coach along with all of the other instructors are incredible, and even the others that train here are all friendly and welcoming. Overall, a great environment for anyone looking to train.
My son has been to three different Martial Arts Studios in the Amarillo and Canyon Texas areas over the last 5 years. This by far and away is the absolute best. I have been a coach and trainer by trade in a different sport, soccer, and have worked in Amarillo and elsewhere as a coach with a private training business.
The people here are kind and humble. This is the best place to learn martial arts. The Coach knows martial arts and how to teach so well to the point anyone can learn from him no matter what background or skill level.
New to kickboxing? Start at Impact Martial Arts Academy
Impact Martial Arts 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 Impact Martial Arts 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.
