From the reviews

Ever since doing the free trial, we knew Kingdom Martial Arts was the perfect school for our daughter. Marcus is a tough coach & he always pushes you to improve. His attention to technique, depth of knowledge, & passion for the sport are unmatched. 😉😉

★★★★★ — Alvin, Jun 2025

Amazing gym! Amazing coaches! I’m still very new to Muay Thai and have taken 2 classes here at Kingdom Martial Arts Academy so far and definitely plan to keep on going. They are very knowledgeable and coach me through each drill and session extremely well.

★★★★★ — Corey, Jan 2025

Kingdom Martial Arts Academy has been such a positive experience for both me and my kids. Coach Marcus, John, Ed, Demarcus, and Sabrina are incredible! They are not only highly skilled but also super patient and encouraging, always taking the time to ensure that everyone—from kids to adults—gets the attention they…

★★★★★ — Amanda, Sep 2025

I first learned of Charles from seeing his online instructionals on Instagram. From seeing how and what he taught online, made me believe he is a very good teacher. So good that I flew out from California to learn from him in person.

New to kickboxing? Start at Kingdom Martial Arts Academy

Kingdom Martial Arts Academy comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Kingdom 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.

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.
