Zen Martial Arts Academy is one of the best dojo’s in El Paso. Very friendly staff, instructors and students. Coming into this gym you feel welcomed as if it was your own home. Very nice and positive environment. Classes are great! They have so many types of classes for kids, women, and men. Definitely worth it!

My 8 year-old daughter and 6 year-old son have been taking jiujitsu lessons at this studio for 7 months now and have excelled in their confidence and basic athletic abilities. The owners and instructors are dedicated and provide high level instruction per my husband who has done jiujitsu before.

We’ve been part of this dojo for about three years now and it truly feels like home. My daughter started in the Buddha’s program as a toddler and has since moved up into the kids program, and I joined the adult classes about six months ago.

Your first kickboxing class at Zen 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.
