From the reviews

I and my daughter have been students of S.M. Smith Martial Arts since 2007. We have achieved Third and Second Degree Black Belts up to this point and Taekwondo is now a way of life.

★★★★★ — Glenn, Mar 2015

My nephew, who is originally from Spain, had the most wonderful summer experience at this martial arts school. From the very first day, the masters welcomed him with kindness and respect, making him feel right at home despite being far from where he lives.

★★★★★ — Lau, Sep 2025

My little guy and myself have been training here for over 6 months so far at time of this review and it's been fabulous for both of us!! Black belt is our goal... I attend every class I can! Taekwondo is so good for me to train plus the kickboxing gives a great cardio workout and helps me fine tune tenique for TKD....

★★★★★ — Jeffrey, Apr 2024

Master Smith truly cares about his students, and he always took extra time to give me special attention and instruction when I came to his classes. The skills and training I have learned is something that I can continue to develop and take with me for the rest of my life...

Your first kickboxing class at S M Smith Martial Art

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.
