From the reviews

My 4 kids started learning Taekwondo from Master Nick and Master Tristan about 4 years ago. They have been teaching my kids not only martial arts but also discipline, respect, humbleness, politeness, and importance in life, etc. They have been training mind and body. They are always friendly and professional.

★★★★★ — Maico, Mar 2021

I have been a member of Mountain View Karate since 1999, have attained the rank of 4th Degree Black Belt (Master). I would highly recommend this school for your children. Our instructors work with the children teaching them discipline, focus and to respect others.

★★★★★ — Wanda, Sep 2017

Mountain View Karate is hands down the best! My daughter has found something she really takes pride in and I can’t thank Mountain View enough! She loved it from the very first class she took, at first..

★★★★★ — Tim, Jul 2020

Wow, this has been a wonderful experience. Both Master Nick and Master Tristen are very patient and effective teachers. They have made a difference in my son's attitude and respect level in just 3 classes. This has been perfect. We tried other activities and sports that did not keep his attention or teach him anything.

Your first kickboxing class at Koclanis 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.
