From the reviews
Team Raposa..., offers a phenomenal program in martial arts (Taekwondo) as well as boxing and Kickboxing. One of the best programs I have seem so far that caters to kids and adults...; you should check it out if you are looking for a place to learn self-defense and get into shape...
Very friendly and experience instructors, highly recommended! Sir Vinicius is great with kids, his teaching style motivates the students to better themselves rather than fear making mistakes.
Top notch, no nonsense instructors. COVID safe! Masks are required while in the facility and gym surfaces are sanitized after every class.
i've taken boxing and self defense classes here. The staff is very professional and highly skilled
New to kickboxing? Start at Team Raposa Taekwondo & Boxing / Black-K
Team Raposa Taekwondo & Boxing / Black-K 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 Team Raposa Taekwondo & Boxing / Black-K
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.
