From the reviews
Incredible school with an exceptional instructor and members. Every bit of my experience there was constructive, educational and above all else, fun! I trained under Mr. Jones in kick-boxing, tae-kwon-do, and brazilian jui-jitsu. Each class and training method was unique and beneficial in its own right.
Kevin Jones is an awesome instructor. He cares about each student as an individual. He is constantly seeking out new training methods and ways to improve techniques. He does not remain stagnant. I’ve known him since 2013 and he has helped me and my family grow as martial artists and as people.
Mr. Jones is an amazing instructor. He is very thorough and patient with the kids! I took my friends kids when they first started as little dragons! I recently started kickboxing, it’s a love hate relationship but it’s never the same and always keeps us moving the whole class and it’s an amazing workout!
I love it here because of all the fun stuff we do like one time they made a obstacle course and we do dodge ball or freeze tag after class. Thanks Mr. Jones and all my other instructors.
New to kickboxing? Start at KC Jones Martial Arts
KC Jones Martial Arts 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 KC Jones 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.
