From the reviews

Very motivating instructors who truly love martial arts. My son would go to Karate everyday if I let him. The kickboxing has transformed me into a more confident person! The Master is super friendly and accommodating. I recommend the 1-2 Punch to everyone I meet!

★★★★★ — Kristi, Jun 2018

My 6-year-old son participates in the Karate Kidz class and is doing GREAT! My husband and I are so happy with our experience with The 1-2 Punch Family Martial Arts & Fitness Center! Master Domino and his staff are amazing! They strive to know each child as an individual, and that is so important to us.

★★★★★ — Sandy, Jan 2013

Love this place! The cardio kickboxing workout is amazing -- you WILL get into shape. They walk you through what to do for the entire class and they are so encouraging throughout.

★★★★★ — Michelle, Mar 2014

My son has been attending the "Little Dragons" class (the youngest class) for a couple years and loves it! He always has fun! The coaches are great with the kids! They mostly focuses on discipline, following direction, and making sure the kids are having fun.

Your first kickboxing class at The 1-2 Punch Family Martial Arts and Fitness 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.
