From the reviews

I enrolled my son back in December and today I had a parent teachers conference and the things she said amazed me ! My son had some disciplinary and behavioral issues at school and at home .

★★★★★ — Tye, Feb 2022

My son, Michael, is 5 yrs old. When he started school, he began having behavior issues. I don't know what I would have done without the instructors at Martial ZEN. He actually acted out right before he was to earn his first stripe, and they explained to him how important our behavior is.

★★★★★ — Brianna, Nov 2017

My daughter has been struggling with confidence. Since she has been enrolled with martial zen her confidence has boosted and so has her attitude. I love how all the instructors know all the young students by name. Martial zen is like a family to us!

★★★★★ — Lacie, Jul 2019

I am forever grateful for the knowledge, wisdom, and life skills you've shared with me. The lessons I've learned at your school extend far beyond the physical techniques, and they will continue to positively impact my life for years to come.

Your first kickboxing class at Martial ZEN Killeen 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.

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.
