From the reviews

My son was traveling across the country and was visiting family over summer vacation and wanted to drop in and train. I spoke to Shawn directly on the phone and he was happy to let him drop in and train. My son said he had a great time and made some new friends while he was in town.

Team Chitwood is absolutely wonderful for teaching self- defense and self- discipline. My daughter is in her second year and has improved so much! I appreciate the psychical nature incorporated with the class and teaching respect towards everyone.

★★★★★ — Brittany, Oct 2025

In just 2 hours I learned a lot from their self defense class. The way they taught was very good and it makes me want to go back for more lessons.

★★★★★ — Owen, Oct 2025

Great staff and I think my fellow students are absolutely fantastic! As a former Army combatives instructor, I can confidently say that Sean and his instructors are among the best I've ever known in the civilian sector.

Your first kickboxing class at Team Chitwood Martial Arts & Fitness

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.
