From the reviews
I have my 3 girls enrolled here. Master Vergara and his instructors are the best. They are incredibly skilled and have big hearts. I wouldn't take my girls anywhere else.
My daughter and I have been attending to their classes. She is taking martial art classes while I am taking cardio kick boxing classes at the same time. We are both extremely happy with our classes. Everybody is very friendly and the teachers are very patient and resourceful.
Great place for martial arts for both children and adults, as well as cardio kickboxing. Instructors and students are very welcoming of newcomers, and if you have any interest at all you should try the free week to see if it is for you. Prices are reasonable and instruction quality is top tier.
I’ve done their cardio kickboxing for over 20 years and it’s the best place for it. Both of my kids earned their black belts and Vince Vergara the Owner is an amazing Grandmaster level Instructor!!
Your first kickboxing class at West Shore Academy of 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.
