From the reviews

Our two children have been attending classes here for the last 18 months. Outstanding school with knowledgeable and supportive teachers and staff.

★★★★★ — Amy, Oct 2021

This school is great for learning martial arts from the ground up. The head instructor, Soke Lane, has incredible knowledge of the mechanics of movement, timing, and absorbability.

★★★★★ — Seishin, Jun 2023

I love everything about this Academy! If you are looking for a class, look no further! Staff members are excellent and the students in the class are a fantastic group of kids. As they are learning Martial Arts they are also learning respect, self confidence and discipline. My son looks forward to going every week.

★★★★★ — Suzie, Jun 2019

It is very hard to find a real traditional budo academy nowadays, where you can find more than sports a true martial art method conceived to build a better you every single day.

New to kickboxing? Start at Southeast Martial Arts Academy

Southeast Martial Arts 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 Southeast Martial Arts 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.

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.
