From the reviews
Dropped in to this gem of a gym from California. The team here was extremely friendly, informative and inviting. I had no problem plugging right in with the team. The training was very thorough.
Something for everyone! Fitness, self defense, martial arts, kids programs. Whether you're a beginner with no experience or an MMA veteran. Hope to see you soon!
Jason High and LC Davis and the rest of the ATTHD staff are simply amazing. You're guaranteed to sweat a bunch, hurt, but afterwards feel like you've not only gotten a great workout in, but also learned a thing or 2. Seems more like a giant family than a mma gym
I've been attending Welcome Mat since they opened in Lenexa, and I am so happy with my training. It's a great martial arts studio that covers all the necessities to be successful. I always get a great workout in a fun and stress free environment.
New to kickboxing? Start at Welcome Mat Martial Arts
Welcome Mat Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. 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 Welcome Mat 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.
