Awesome place! My 5 year old daughter began a little over a year ago and has learned so much! Mr. Blackburn is great with the kids! No matter what the ages! I also have recently joined along with my daughter. Great fitness and an excellent instructor to lead me on my journey to black belt!

An awesome instructor that provides a great environment for kids. I have kids in three different age groups and all of them are engaged and love the classes! I highly recommend this school for kids that are interested in learning martial arts.

Your first kickboxing class at Tiger-Rock Martial Arts of South Huntsville

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.
