My 5.5 year old son attends kickboxing here at The Art of Kickboxing and coached by owner, Kris. We had enrolled our son here because we wanted him to learn defensive skills and gain confidence. We have been attending Kris class 3x a week for over 7 months - This is the class that my son gets excited and is motivated to go to! Before class, Coach Kris checks in with my son on how his day went and then they get into training and end with games. Kris' compassion, patience and kindness shows. Class sizes are kept small. My son regularly gets 1:1 sessions with Coach Kris as he is a younger child and not many children his age group are enrolled in his classes. Great class, nurturing and patient Coach. The Art of Kickboxing is a gem.

I signed up for a free try-out session not knowing exactly what to expect—and I’m so glad I did! The atmosphere was super welcoming, and the coach(Kris) took the time to explain techniques clearly, even for beginners like me. The class was a great mix of cardio, strength, and real kickboxing skills—challenging but so energizing! Everyone was friendly and supportive, and I never felt out of place. It’s a great environment whether you’re completely new or already have some experience. I left the session sweaty, smiling, and seriously considering signing up for more. Highly recommend giving it a try!

My grandson takes kick boxing lesson here. His instructor is Kris. He is amazing! He does a good job training Carlos. We had put Carlos to other martial arts lesson’s before., But this is the only time that he actually wants to keep coming back and keep learning. This really shows how amazing Kris is training his students.

I chose to do the one on one classes with Kris and he is the the most informative and respectful trainer I have ever met. He has taught me very practicaly and very patiently how to defend myself in dangerous situations. I feel more confident and more self assured due to this teachings and I am now more confident in joining group classes but I started off 1 on 1 because of my anxiety. He has dispelled that with his teachings and patience.

I attended boxing, kickboxing, and Muay Thai training with my brother — we really enjoyed it! The coach explains everything clearly and helps beginners get into the rhythm. The atmosphere is friendly and motivating. I especially appreciated the chance to try different styles — it really helped me understand what I enjoy most. Great place, highly recommend!
