From the reviews
My daughter has been going there since she was 4 and she's now 8. The instructor is "awesome" not only is he teaching good martial arts (with weapons, full contact hand to hand and wrestling - just to name a few) but he's teaching mannerism is on point. He knows ALL the kids names which I don't see very often.
My son was attacked by 2 bullies from his school. He managed to protect himself with the techniques he learned from Skip; the owner/Head instructor. It would have turned out for the worse if he did not know how to grapple or throw a punch.
Great place to train. The more you come to class, the better you will get at it just like any good school. It's sambo, so it's a lot more throwing than a regular bjj class. Which I like way better than most school. We have 10 inch judo mats and they're very nice to get thrown on. They do offer striking classes as well.
My son has so much fun here and made some good friends. He’s learned a lot about respect and responsibility and how to work hard. The kids that go here are really dedicated to achieving these goals too.
Your first kickboxing class at Lion's Way 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.
