From the reviews
Lightspeed Martial Arts Academy in Scotts Valley has been an incredible place for my son. He has been training here for about 2 ½ years, and during that time he has not only learned Taekwondo skills but also patience, respect, and discipline—all while having fun.
My son has attended this school for 3 years, he has learned control, confidence and respect for his fellow athletes, instructors and friends. He has become more confident and secure in all aspects of his life. I love the transformation this school provided him! The instructors are first class!
There is something really, reallllly special about Lightspeed Martial Arts... My 8 year old son has been training Taekwondo there for 4 years now, and I have been training for 3 years. In that time, we have become so much more than part of an excellent martial arts training program (which it most certainly is!!
My son loves his classes at LightSpeed. I so appreciate the time that the instructors take with him, the way that they tailor the content for each age level, and the support they have given me as a parent.
Your first kickboxing class at LightSpeed 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.
