From the reviews

I have trained Jiu Jitsu and kickboxing at this Academy for years. It's always such a pleasant experience and such a positive environment! I have grown personally and artistically over the years while attending. There is so much love, patience, and encouragement from both the Masters and Professors.

★★★★★ — Latonya, Sep 2023

I cannot recommend this academy enough. Not only are the coaches wonderful, but all of the teammates and assistants are too. My son is in Little Dragons and I am continually blown away by the coaches (Professor Jackson and also Coach Moore). They are firm and disciplined while being kind and fun.

★★★★★ — Anna, Dec 2023

OK, for starters, i have trained here about 5 years, and they happen to be the best about 5 years of my life! when you start you do not just learn jujitsu and karate you Learn life leadership lessons and you socialize with people and make great Friends but most of all you join a family this place is basically a second…

Your first kickboxing class at TX Black Belt Academy Arlington

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.
