From the reviews
Went in for an introduction to kickboxing with Kevin. Great guy, good energy, and very informative. Place is clean, gear is in good shape, and has a good vibe to it. They really help you get into it, give great clear instructions so you don't hurt yourself, and all around great attitude.
Our family loves being members of the Seung-ni team. In addition to top notch training in taekwondo and sparring our kids are learning spatial awareness and some basic Korean. They are gaining self-confidence as well as strength and flexibility; and are also being exposed to good meditation and memorization practices.
I started going to kickboxing classes at Seung-Ni 4 months ago. I did their 30 days for $30 deal and haven't stopped going since! They are fun, quick, and challenging! The times of the classes allow me to go regularly, and they always start on time and end on time so I can fit them into my schedule easily!
Seung-ni has been a great environment for my son to learn self discipline and the instruction of Taekwondo along with the education/application of basic exercises, obstacle courses, teamwork and basic Korean words in class. Master Dan has stood out.
New to kickboxing? Start at Seung-ni Traverse City Martial Arts & Kickboxing Academy
Seung-ni Traverse City Martial Arts & Kickboxing 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 Seung-ni Traverse City Martial Arts & Kickboxing 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.
