From the reviews
My son has been attending Master Khechens for a year and a half and it is so much more than a martial arts studio. The focus on character building and accountability carry over to his behavior at home, at school, and in the community. He has developed great friendships, and has so many great role models and mentors.
Our son has been attending this academy for about 2 1/2 years now. Since he's been here he has been more disciplined, driven, respectful, focused and HAPPY!!! He has goals that he works towards and stays active and healthy!
I have been to a couple different martial art schools in my life travels. The Niagara Falls school has been my favorite. The Niagara Falls school has good energy and friendly environment. The lead instructor is skillful and a knowledgeable teacher.
I have been taking my son to Master Khechen’s Martial Arts Academy in Niagara Falls since they first opened and he absolutely loves it! He enjoys the engaging classes and the friendly staff. The instructors focus on developing each student’s strengths to ensure every child is seen and reaches their full potential.
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.
