From the reviews
To Alex, Craig, and Michelle – we are all posting reviews because we are the students – Surprised? Don’t be – there are a lot of us ;) Stop by and meet us – check out the pictures ahead of time and we will be able to show you who we are.
I'm 62 yrs. old and I never thought I ever be able to do any physical exercise do to my health condition. I joined K.O Bag fitness at this location and I can't thank enough for support I have been getting from instructor Eni. Classes are always fun, challenging and a tremendous help to my health.
I've been a fan of the K.O Bag Fitness class since 2011. The master put in a lot of effort to change up the routine. So each class is different and I've never get bored of doing the same class. It's a great place to burn calories and de-stress. Be ready to have fun.
I joined this amazing workout program in July of this year and cannot describe how satisfied and overexcited I am for finally finding something that fits my needs. I was very nervous to start Krav Maga classes due to having no prior experience in martial arts.
New to taekwondo? Start at Y.M.A TAEKWONDO & KRAV MAGA LLC
Y.M.A TAEKWONDO & KRAV MAGA LLC comes up as a beginner-friendly school, going by their listing and students’ reviews. If you've never trained or set foot in a dojang, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or flexible to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and instructors scale the intensity to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable schools build fundamentals (stances, blocks, kicks, and basic forms) for weeks, sparring eases in gradually and with gear on, and instructors keep it controlled and safe. Third, all ages and all 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 schools are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first taekwondo class at Y.M.A TAEKWONDO & KRAV MAGA LLC
Nervous about walking into a taekwondo school for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors 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 basic stances, blocks, and kicks with a partner or on pads — not hard sparring. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: loose athletic wear you can move in (or a dobok if you have one); you'll train barefoot on the floor. What to bring: water and a positive attitude — many schools lend a loaner dobok for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll get your own dobok and belt, and sparring gear (mouthguard, headgear, and guards) once you begin sparring. Sparring eases in gradually, once your fundamentals and forms are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the instructor. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
