From the reviews
A great place to train! Check their website for class times and descriptions. They have classes for everyone form beginners to advanced. Bill and his staff are very friendly and highly recommended.
My daughter is 7 and always has a blast in class! We feel very welcome and comfortable from the moment we wall in to the moment we leave. You definitely become part of the family! Thank you for being great role models for my daughter!
Honestly I love coming to class all the time! I’ve been in classes for three years! I love how both young Mr. Hough and Older Mr. Hough run the classes. It’s mostly all serious and sometimes they have a little bit of fun every once in a while.
We signed up my six year old one year ago around the time my son turned six years old. My son had told us several times that he wanted to be a ninja, so we took the practical route and signed him up for TKD. Its been exciting to see him learn and grow over the last year.
Your first kickboxing class at Southern Minnesota 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.
