From the reviews

My kids have been going to Jerry since he started. He cares about the kids and does everything with them in mind. My kids love it and they usually don’t enjoy physical sports, but with Jerry and his crew they can’t wait for class every week!

Our girls have been taking lessons here for almost 3 yrs now. We were a little hesitant at first because 2 of them have special needs and they get upset or distracted very easily. I must say it was the BEST decision we have ever made! It has increased their self-confidence, social skills, balance, and self- control.

★★★★★ — Kari, Sep 2025

My daughter has been participating in martial arts class for 3 months now. She has learned so much and absolutely loves it. She has made some great friends in the process too.

★★★★★ — Della, Jan 2022

A great family atmosphere and knowledgeable instructors. The student instructors will really help one on one if you are new or struggling. Sparring, kata, and competitions, they incorporate it all! Well worth a visit to try it out!

Your first kickboxing class at Japanese 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.

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.
