From the reviews
Joining the Master Khechen's Tae Kwon-Do team in Williamsville has been such a great experience for my son! He joined at age 6 as a white belt and is now a red belt at age 8. He absolutely loves going to class throughout the week and always looks forward to competitions, testing for new belts, and fun student nights!
An excellent school for all ages! I started training at this school over 5 years ago while my oldest son was a student. Master Schiele, Mr. Joseph and the rest of the instructors are fantastic. Not only do they teach martial arts, they are extremely knowledgeable and promote overall physical and metal wellness.
My daughter has been coming here a couple years now and the instructors have always been great with the children and very professional. It has had such a wonderful impact on my daughter's life. They focus not only on martial arts but respect and self discipline as well as self defense. Very family involved too.
We love Master Khechen’s of Williamsville. Our whole family takes classes and are working on various belt levels. My daughters have grown in self-confidence, strength, and self-discipline in the two years since they started. My husband and I have benefited from the exercise and discipline 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.
