From the reviews
Johnson's Martial Arts Academy is by far the BEST place to take your kids (and/or yourself) to meet people, have fun, get in shape and learn basic & advanced forms of Karate as well as other Martial Arts techniques.
I sat in two separate times while my niece and nephew started their first classes. I was blown away by the instructor's knowledge and teaching abilities. He skillfully balanced multiple different students as they practiced different techniques. He was stern but friendly and playful.
Mr. Johnson is amazing! My kiddo (4) is loving his class and learning so much! He does a great job being stern but fun with the whole class. Every week has something slightly different happening so my child knows the drill but doesn't get bored. Prices are very affordable and Mr.
Mr. Johnson is great with the kids, my six year old son is learning a lot! No complaints this way, I would recommend Johnson’s Karate to anyone looking for a Martial Arts Class
New to kickboxing? Start at Johnson’s Martial Arts Academy
Johnson’s 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 Johnson’s 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.
