★★★★★ — Trena, Nov 2021

I've thoroughly enjoyed my training at Kickboxing Plus. I was nervous since I've never taken any martial arts classes before, but a friend asked me to try it and I love it. Several weeks into the class, I've learned so much and have fun while getting in shape. This is much more fun than a treadmill.

★★★★★ — Suzy, Dec 2021

My 4.5 year old niece and sister recently started taking classes at this school and they both love it!! I see marked improvement in my niece's ability to keep her self-control and focus in check. She has high energy and these classes have given her a fun and positive outlet.

★★★★★ — Carolee, Nov 2021

My son absolutely loves coming here. Master Des Jardin is a wonderful teacher! I’m extremely happy I found out about his classes. My son is more confident, is able to learn how to defend himself and feels proud of all his accomplishments. Thank you for all you do Master Des Jardin!

Your first kickboxing class at Kickboxing Plus Taekwondo 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.
