From the reviews

I joined Master Van Patten's USA Martial Arts academy in Antioch, IL about two years ago after taking a martial arts class at the Lindenhurst Park District with my 7 year old son. The park district program was run by a karate school from Mount Prospect and was a simplistic punching and kicking school.

My kids and I love U.S.A Martial Arts, Instructor is always willing to help before and after your classes. Always ask about your well being and when we are loosing energy and focus he's always there to boost us up and get us on track again. Will continue to be a part of this place.

We have been members of USA Martial Arts for about 1 year and half and we use every opportunity to tell parents how wonderful the place and people are. We are a hispanic family and my husband is a disabled Veteran and we feel right at home with the instructors and other families.

Your first kickboxing class at USA Martial Arts

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.
