From the reviews
I am thrilled to share my positive experience with my daughter's Korean Martial Arts Academy. From the moment I enrolled her, I knew it was the right decision. What I love most about the academy is the emphasis on discipline, respect, and self-improvement.
From the introduction Harold and his family has made this an welcoming place for our daughter. Harold is an awesome instructor. Regardless of class size he makes sure to address the needs and concerns of each student. If that means they need some one on one attention he makes sure they receive what they need.
Our 5 year old (now 6) started at KMAA 6 months ago with severe anxiety where he cannot join the group practices. After incredible patience, effort and understanding individual needs by Master Harold and his family, today even though he is little shy at the door, he can stay in a group with smile and pride the whole…
We brought our daughter here just to try it out, to see if she would like it. We were welcomed by Master Harold and his family. My daughter has not left since. We have been here for about a year. She has made new friends. She looks forward to practices.
Your first kickboxing class at Korean Martial Arts Academy Salinas (KMAA)
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.
