From the reviews
I have studied many systems of martial arts in the past 50 years. No matter where I studied I always felt that something was missing. Through books and magazines I became aware of the arts I wanted to know more about. The deeper knowledge.
I have been learning under Dustin and Jackson Carrol for a little under a year now, and I can honestly say I couldn’t be happier with my experience, before I started martial arts and was reading up on it I read that having the right instructor in any martial art is the key to succeeding and it is more than apparent…
Wing Chun Boxing Academy is a wonderful place to learn. Sifu Dustin and Jackson Carrol are excellent. I called Sifu Carrol and explained that I was interested in becoming a student. He invited me to attend a class that day.
A spectacular place for anyone looking to learn how to protect yourself efficiently. Age does not matter, I've seen many different people of all shapes and sizes come to learn and seen all of them take many helpful lessons away from their first day.
New to kickboxing? Start at The Wing Chun Boxing Academy
The Wing Chun Boxing Academy comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 The Wing Chun Boxing 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.
