From the reviews

It's been over a year since my 6 year old son starting Tae kwon do. This is an excellent group of instructors, they are TRULY great with kids. My son has grown from an "I can't do it" mindset to an attitude of trying and learning.

It's been about 4 months since my 5-year-old boy started learning Taekwondo, the martial art originated from my native country, and he enjoys it a lot. Really a lot!!

★★★★★ — Joowon_Joy, Oct 2016

Forever thankful for the opportunities that Ohio Academy of Martial Arts has given me and the kids. It has taught us discipline, respect, self defense and so much more in just a short amount of time. We began our journey to black belts in September of 2022.

★★★★★ — Haley, Jan 2023

The instructors are very patent with the children and the adults who are learning Tae Kwon Do. My son is young elementary student who is having a fun time in class because he is moving than just sitting behind a desk. My son really likes using the vareity of martial arts weapons in class.

Your first kickboxing class at Ohio Academy of Martial Arts

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.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
