From the reviews
This place is INCREDIBLE the instructors are the best of the best at building confidence and meeting the kids where they are. The things that set them apart from the others we toured are: 1.
I’ve been a member of Master Khechen’s since 2011, and I have continued to love it. The instructors are amazing. They are supportive, positive, encouraging, and some of the best people I know.
We absolutely love Master Khechen's taekwondo! Our son has been training for a month now, and I recently joined him on this incredible journey. What started as an activity for our child has become a transformative experience for our entire family.
My sons have benefited tremendously from training at MK Buffalo. They are gaining self confidence ,work ethic, empathy and sportsmanship. The instructors are phenomenal and have been extremely accommodating.
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.
