From the reviews
This school is great! The instructors are phenomenal whether you’re taking up Kung-Fu or kickboxing. If you are dedicated to working out/practicing consistently you will see the results indefinitely. It is very much a community/family here as well, and everyone respects each other.
Great Authentic Kung-fu/ Kickboxing School! Next level teaching in a clean, fast-paced, family-friendly and safe environment!
Tony Jordan is the real deal. Don't let just anyone be your instructor; this choice should be made carefully. If you look online you will see why we chose ours!
The kickboxing class is awesome. It's a fantastic workout and the instructor is amazing. Come and try the class and enjoy the experience
New to kickboxing? Start at Shaolin/Kick Boxing Institute
Shaolin/Kick Boxing Institute 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 Shaolin/Kick Boxing Institute
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.
