From the reviews
First off, shoutout to Coach Jun, Ronnie, Gary, Edgar, Olivia, and Ivan for being so welcoming from my very first class!! I just started two weeks ago and it has been an amazing experience. You’re led by experienced and passionate coaches!
A place to level up and grow, for every age and experience level. Coach Jun is an absolute top tier instructor, who will take the time to see and understand your individual strengths and challenges to help you become the best version of yourself.
Korean Tiger Studios is my go-to gym in the USA for world-class training! As a professional world champion kickboxer under Ramon Dekkers’ lineage (Team Hemmers), I can confidently say this gym is on another level.
I absolutely love this place! Coach Jay is truly one of the best trainers out there—super knowledgeable, motivating, and genuinely cares about everyone improving. The whole environment is amazing, and everyone is so helpful and supportive, no matter your level.
New to kickboxing? Start at Korean Tiger Studios
Korean Tiger Studios comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. 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 Korean Tiger Studios
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.
