I've been involved in the Martial Arts for 35 years. Ed Carr is an outstanding coach and Instructor. A truly caring teacher !! Tokyo Joe's / Team Link Hooksett is the only place in NH I ever recommend ! The best of the best for both traditional and REAL competitive training !

★★★★★ — Joe, Jan 2015

Absolutely excellent! A serious fighting gym. One can get an intense workout and learn self-defense or train to compete at Tokyo Joe's. It is the place to go for MMA, jiu-jitsu or simply to get in shape. Ed and his instructors, are the best you'll ever find.

★★★★★ — Sheila, Aug 2020

Coach Carr has been so great with all of the children, students and other coaches on the team. He has always set a great example of what being a leader is supposed to be. The facility is awesome! Full weight room, sauna, shower. I love it.

Your first kickboxing class at Tokyo Joe's Studios of Self Defense/Team Link NH

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.
