From the reviews

We’ve gone here for 3 years now. My kids are in the Leadership Program. They do a good job with the content in the Leadership program but the amount of money it costs is quite a big difference. My kids were too young to commit to so many years to a single sport when we signed them up 3 years ago.

★★★★☆ — Amy, Jun 2019

We could not be more pleased with King Tiger. Our daughter has been attending for just over a year now. The changes we have seen in her have been amazing.Her confidence, focus and abilities have improved immensely. She is much more disciplined at home and school and we owe a good deal of this change to her time here.

★★★★★ — Stephanie, Nov 2017

My 6 year old son has been at KTMA for 3 months and loves it. He is growing stronger, getting better balance, gaining confidence, and tries really hard. His attitude in class is starting to rub off at home. We love the family friendly atmosphere and Instructor E is great with the kids!

★★★★★ — Robert, Apr 2013

Our family has been with King Tiger Martial Arts for over three years. I cannot thank them enough for what they have done for my son. When we first started, he would not even step on the mat, he would cry for the entire time we were at the studio and Instructor E.

Your first kickboxing class at King Tiger 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.

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.
