From the reviews
We have just started coming and my son (7) loves it. The first day was a little intimidating for him but one of the instructors sat patiently with us in the back and explained everything that the class was doing until my son was ready to join the group.
We love the KAMA experience and family! Our son who can be a little timid was made to feel so welcome and comfortable immediately and he has jumped right in! His energy and confidence is soaring along with his focus and listening skills.
This is a fantastic place for you or your children to learn martial arts. My son has been welcomed by the KAMA family ever since he first stepped through the dojo doors. Everyone there has made it a point to make sure my son's felt included and knows what he's doing at all times when he goes to classes.
We started our son at KAMA just to see if he'd like karate as an activity and he did. We've kept him at KAMA, however, because of how awesome Master Butturini and his instructors are at teaching the students not only karate, but respect for self and others, confidence, and how much character matters.
Your first kickboxing class at Knoxville Academy of 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.
