From the reviews

I've been privileged to train at Southeast Martial Arts Center for the past 19 years, beginning my journey when I was just nine. Over the nearly two decades, I've been fortunate to win several national titles and accolades, but trophies aside, what truly sets this school apart is its exceptional environment and…

★★★★★ — Cameron, Aug 2023

Best place to get some training in, as well as training with people that are basically another family. Very open place, no judgements. We learn a lot and have a great time doing it. Coach is a great guy and great instructor. There's no reason not to give this place a try.

★★★★★ — Tony, May 2022

Clean gym, great mats, and equipment. Everything you need from heavy bags, speed bag, double ends bag and plenty of mat space. Private group training is great for all levels of martial art experience!

★★★★★ — N, Oct 2021

Your first kickboxing class at SMAC Southeast Martial Arts Center

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.
