From the reviews

In the late 1990s, I trained with my father at a dojo in Overland Park, KS under a well-known Bushidokan instructor at the time, Steve Mackey. I remember those times fondly and to this day retain substantive knowledge about the self-defense techniques that Mr. Mackey taught.

★★★★★ — Matthew, Jun 2025

I had the good fortune of training at Kenukan in the 1970’s. Sensei Bob Boggs was in his 20’s when I took my first class as a teenager. He was still actively competing at the local, regional and national level at the time and was a force to behold.

★★★★★ — Steve, Sep 2025

Kenukan Academy is an outstanding place to grow, not just in martial arts, but as a person. It's a school where you can build self-respect, self-discipline, self-defense, and self-confidence, all while learning powerful and effective styles like judo, jiu-jitsu, karate, and kickboxing.

★★★★★ — Bart, Jun 2025

I have been a member of Kenukan dojo for 38 years and its been and still is a positive experience. Many diverse students have trained in this dojo. There were lawyers, military personnel, police officers, doctors, first responders and foreign exchange students.

Your first kickboxing class at Kenukan Academy 拳友館

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.
