From the reviews
My son has been in this for going on 4 years. He loves it! He goes to almost every class and attends the summer camp each year. The instructors are excellent with both children and adults and tailor the instruction to each student. Everyone involved are first-rate, with the whole atmosphere being family oriented.
I have been attending classes here for over 4 years, and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. It has helped me lose weight and build my endurance. It is good for learning self-defense and how to protect yourself in a variety of situations. This school is a good, safe environment for all ages. Mr.
Mr. Tony and his staff run a top notch facility at Shaolin Kempo! My 7-year old takes karate and I attend their kickboxing class. The families that attend have a special bond with each other. The entire atmosphere is very supportive and encouraging.
My daughter loves this place! It is the highlight of her week. She has gained confidence and self-discipline as a result of participating in this school. Her instructors are very encouraging. They really focus on mastering techniques, but also allow the members to practice their moves.
Your first kickboxing class at Shaolin Kempo School 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.
