From the reviews
My son has been a student at Master Khechen's since last Spring. From the very start, I've been so impressed with the staff, school and programs. The instructors genuinely care for the students and teach them things beyond martials arts.
My 2 kids (ages 6 & 8) have been coming here for over a year now, and absolutely love it! They look forward to their classes which they attend twice a week, and love practicing at home. They even have my 3 year old practicing at home with them!
We have been going to the Hamburg location for a few years now. The classes are about so much more than just learning some cool moves. Master Wright and all of the instructors are such wonderful role models for the little kids.
It's a lovely place! I really enjoyed the women's self-defense class they offered to the community. The instructor is approachable, knowledgeable, and professional. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and fellow students are respectful and easy to work with.
New to kickboxing? Start at Master Khechen's Martial Arts Academy
Master Khechen's Martial Arts Academy 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 Master Khechen's 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.
