From the reviews
We've only been coming for a few classes so far, but I already can see a difference in my girls. They are finally learning the importance of self control and listening, plus they get to have fun.
We are so glad we joined Master Khechen’s one year ago! Our daughters have shown so much growth- not only physically but also socially and emotionally. Being able to practice discipline and physical fitness while bonding with friends who share similar goals has been such a positive experience for both of them.
We have been coming to this location for 4 years and have nothing but good things to say for this place. The instructors are amazing with the kids, and they treat you like family. They do a great job at keeping the kids engaged, while teaching self discipline and confidence. Highy recommend!!
My grandson has been attending Master Khechen martial arts since September, the experience has been wonderful. The instructors are patient and truly dedicated to helping each student grow both physically and mentally. I’ve seen big improvement in his confidence and focus - not just at home but at school as well.
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.
