FAQ

“Will martial arts make my kid violent?”

Absolutely not! We don't teach kids how to kick and punch so they can go down the street and beat up the neighbor's kid. Instead, we teach kids self-defense as a tool for personal growth and development. Kids learn to treat others as they want to be treated. They learn to respect all living things – from their parents to pets. Often, kids who were violent before they joined our class changed, and became non-violent. So no, martial arts won't make your child violent!

“What if my child's not athletic? Will he have a hard time?”

Often children who don't find success in team sports come to martial arts. And they love it. That's because with martial arts you go at your own pace. See, team sports actually harm the self-esteem of children who aren't very athletic. When they don't perform well, the other kids can be pretty nasty. And this can leave some serious scars on their self-esteem. But with martial arts, they cant let anyone down. Everyone goes at their own pace. Some kids learn quicker than others – but the children who advance quickly are not valued more than the kids who advance slowly. Everyone is greatly encouraged – regardless of his or her athletic level.

“Will my child learn a talent that they can be proud of?”

Many children find pride in being able to do “cool” things like dancing, juggling, singing, playing an instrument, etc., etc., etc. I've seen many kids enter talent shows, and show off their martial arts skills. The crowd is blown away every time! There's simply something fascinating and exciting about watching martial arts. And your child will take great pride in his abilities.

“What age is appropriate for martial arts?”

We have programs for kids who are 3 years old all the way to teenagers. And we even have programs for adults. So to be honest – every age is appropriate. No child is too young or too old. We have a class that fits just right.

“Will my child get hurt?”

I've had children come to my program for years without ever obtaining a single injury. This is actually the case with most children. Have children gotten injured in my martial arts class? Yes, some have. But the injuries were no different than those which kids who play baseball and other sports get. In the words of a parent I recently spoke with, “The instructors pay attention to detail when it comes to safety.” From padded floors, to proper gear, to step-by- step instruction – we do everything in our power to insure your child's safety. I can't guarantee your child won't be injured – but I can tell you that almost no children receive injuries in my program. And that's because we take your child's safety very seriously.

“Will my child have fun? Will he want to stick with the program?”

When parents take their kids to appointments – normally the parent has to run around and do everything in their power to get their children to the appointment on time. “Hurry up!” they shout, “We'll be late!” (How many times have you said this?) But with martial arts, something fascinating happens… Often the children are the ones yelling these things! They don't want to be late, and they never want to miss a class. In fact, I know of many parents who use martial arts as an incentive to get chores done. If the kids are good, do their chores, and do their homework – they get martial arts as a reward. That's because your child will have a ton of fun. He'll be laughing and smiling throughout the entire class. And because He'll constantly be setting and reaching goals – He'll want to stick with the program. It will become a part of his life as if it was always there.

“Is martial arts just for boys? Or can my girl take martial arts too?”

On this page I've said “he” a lot. But the truth is, there are just as many girls in many of our classes as there are boys. Girls love martial arts just as much, and get the same fulfillment out of it as boys do. Also, if I've learned anything in my years of teaching, its that girls are just as tough as boys. Many are even tougher! So you don't have to worry about your little girl getting hurt, or feeling scared because she'll be practicing with boys. In fact, the boys may even be the ones who are scared.

A Solution

Even though Johnny, Rick, Jim, and Rebecca are fictional – their stories are based off of very real ones. In fact, I can't tell you how many times parents have come in and told me almost these exact stories. Word for word. But after just a few weeks of martial arts, this is what happens…

Clear Focus

In martial arts, we have kids do one thing at a time. For younger kids, and kids with severe ADD, they may only do one thing for 30 seconds - but for that 30 seconds that's all they focus on. Then, the better and better they get at focusing, the longer we have them focus for. Eventually, kids might focus the entire session on just one exercise or activity. And they never get bored or antsy. Before you know it, they do this at home too. They focus on their homework on their chores on conversations with you and anything else they put their mind to.

Determined to Succeed

From Day 1 in martial arts your child sets goals, and accomplishes them. The more and more he does this – the more ambitious he becomes. Eventually he learns to set higher goals – and he learns to go after them with everything he's got. He learns that fulfillment and respect are earned through completing challenges. Because of this, kids who go through martial arts are much more likely to succeed later in life as well. A recent study showed that 63% of black belts become college graduates! They then go on to live wonderful, fulfilling lives. And then they pass these principles onto their own children.

Finally Paying Attention

Parents of children with attention problems breathe sighs of relief after just a few short weeks. That's because in martial arts – we teach kids to look people in the eyes when they're being spoken to. We teach them that this is how you show people you're listening, and paying attention. After just a few short weeks, kids naturally begin doing this at home. And in school. Parents and teachers often look at each other with wide-eyes when they reflect on the changes. They can't believe how much better their children pay attention.

Completing Tasks the First Time He's Asked

In martial arts, we have just a few simple rules. One of those rules is that when your child is asked to do something – he does it the first time. We never yell at kids, or scold them, if they don't do this. But every kid does it because he sees the other kids in the class doing it too. And he wants to make friends and be a part of the group. It's usually a matter of a couple weeks before kids start doing this at home, too. I can't tell you how many parents have thanked me profusely when it starts to happen. For parents of children who have a hard time following directions – this is truly a blessing.

Self-Respect

When it comes to bullies, kids in martial arts don't back down. They have the confidence to look a bully in the eyes, and stand their ground. This is what nearly always happens… The bully gets scared and backs down! It happens 9 times out of 10. And for the 1 time out of 10 the bully doesn't back down – your child has the tools to defend himself. And if necessary, he'll be able to get away, and seek out an authority figure. Most confrontations can be talked through. However occasionally, words aren't enough. For either situation your child will be prepared. No one will be able to hurt him, or take anything away from him.

Weight loss

It's easy these days for kids to not exercise. As a result, many children experience weight problems at a young age.

Martial Arts is an amazing form of exercise

Your child will be active the entire time. But there's no pressure on him to do anything he can't. We'll encourage him to do his best – but this isn't boot camp or anything.

Most importantly he'll have a ton of fun.

And if he happens to be overweight – martial arts will help him get down to a healthy weight. This reduces risk for many health problems that can occur now, and later on in life. It also increases energy, alertness, and overall happiness. He'll never feel better.

Testimonials

“A significant change, in only 2 short weeks”

Gary has a bit of a temper, but I’ve already noticed the change. He's more respectful to me. And his teachers can't believe it! He calls them “m'am” and “sir”. No other kid in his class shows their teachers this much respect. It really makes me feel great, and I feel like I've done a great thing for myself and my child by enrolling him in this martial arts class.

Alice Thompson (Gary's Mom)

“She just can't wait for 'martial arts days'”

At first I wasn't sure if Ashley would like the program. After all, she's only 6, so she never really sticks to anything. Boy was I wrong! She gets extremely upset if we ever have to miss a class now. And I can tell she's more focused, more attentive, and just all around happier after starting this program.

Cynthia Snyder (Ashley's Mom)

“The bully backed down.”

When Brian got off the bus today, and got in the car, he couldn't stop talking about how he stood up to this bully who had been picking on him for weeks! He said the bully backed down, and everyone saw it! I got so choked up that he looked at me and asked me why I was crying. I just told him I was so proud of him. Thank you,

Bill Gray (Brian's Dad)

“Unbelievable! He did his homework the first time I asked!”

Hey, I just wanted to tell you that Michael did his homework today the first time I asked him! I'm still in shock! I know it's because of what he learned in American Freestyle Tae Kwon Do class. You have put together an incredible program. Thank you so much. Sincerely,

Marsha Humphrey(Michael's mom)

Fun

Everyone says it’s easy to stick with iLoveKickboxing.com because it’s so much fun!

The Formula

Our Program blends techniques for the 4 main styles of Boxing and Kickboxing. All of the iLoveKickboxing.com Classes are taught by qualified Instructors, many of whom are actual amateur or professional fighters!

Boxing

Often referred to as the “Sweet Science” and one of America’s oldest pastimes, is also one of the best ways to stay lean and fit. Boxing techniques are primarily the Jab, Cross, Hook and the Uppercut. The Boxing aspect of our classes utilizes all these punches along with conditioning methods used by actual fighters. Your arms will get lean and toned quick!

Kickboxing

Kickboxing began as a combination of Boxing tech- niques and the Kicking moves that are used in several martial arts, such as Karate, Kung-Fu and Tae Kwon Do. Kickboxing techniques require timing and help build your balance and coordination, as all four limbs are being used. These moves develop a student’s ‘core’ conditioning and provide a real ‘full body’ workout.

Muay Thai Kickboxing

The national sport of Thailand, Muay Thai is as exciting to practice as it is to watch. Muay Thai fighters don’t just use punches and kicks, but also knees and elbows to strike against pads and heavy bags. This style of training will bring your current level of fitness to an entirely new level. Thai Boxers are amongst the most ‘shredded’ of all athletes and the techniques are effective for street- self-defense as well!

San Da / San Shou Kickboxing

This method of Boxing, Kickboxing, Wrestling and Judo was adopted by the Chinese Military over 80 years ago. They recognized that it was one of the best ways to learn to defend yourself and to get their soldiers in the best shape possible…as quick as possible. Our San Da / San Shou training will tone and strengthen your legs, back and abs more than almost any other form of exercise.

Testimonials

“The funnest way to lose weight and get in shape that I’ve ever seen.”

“As a field hockey player in college I was always in great shape. But after graduation, my job as a professor just seemed to take up all my time and as a result – I put on some pounds. I was looking for a way to get back into shape in just a few hours a week and yoga and the gym wasn’t getting it done for me. I started kickboxing classes here and was amazed at how fast the weight came off…I lost 25lbs in just a few months! It’s the funnest way to lose weight and get back into shape that I’ve ever seen!”

Andrea Perkins, 34, College Professor PhD

“Thanks so much for this hot body...”

So, I’ve always been in pretty decent shape but maintaining my body was always a hassle. Between going to the gym, spin classes and Zumba, I was mentally and physically exhausted. Almost felt like it might be easier to just let myself go. I needed a workout that I knew would keep me motivated and wouldn’t completely wear me out. A friend of mine told me about this 3-Class Web Special from iLoveKickboxing.com and it looked pretty cool so I figured I’d give it a shot. After my first class I knew I would never need another workout program again! Now, not only do I look great, I feel awesome! I have more energy, better focus and I have already brought 4 of my friends in to train with me!

Andreà Lynn, 27, Fitness Model

“I’m simply amazed at how fast I’m losing weight.”

After trying tons of diets… exercise tapes… gyms… meditations… and a million other things… I wish I had just done this from the start. It’s so simple. You don’t have to think about it. You show up, you do the workout, you go home. Then, you look at the scale every few days or so - and you see the number going down and down and down. That’s it. No rocket science. No books. No counting calories or anything complicated like that. Do yourself a favor and stop trying to make all these crazy diets and things work. Just show up for class and let the professionals take care of the rest. I’m so glad I did.

Renee Older, 29

“If I had only known that losing 55lbs was going to be so easy!”

I started out at 239 lbs. and just couldn’t believe it when the scale told me I had dropped to 188 lbs in just 12 weeks! I lost 51 lbs and I still can hardly believe it! The iLoveKickboxing.com workouts, their nutrition and diet plan along with their amazing instructors really did the trick.Working out here has changed my life in a way I never thought possible! I finally know I will be able to reach my goal weight and get into my ‘skinny jeans’ in the next few months!

“My instructors keep me looking my best!”

Thanks a ton for helping me to keep on track with my fitness goals and get into awesome shape for all my photo shoots. If it wasn’t for you I would be way out of shape and worried about how I look.

You always know just how far to push me way beyond what I would ever do on my own! And somehow you make the workouts fun at the same time. Your whole program is so positive and upbeat, it’s no wonder everyone there gets such great results.“It’s a very cool thing you got going on.”

“I couldn’t believe I had lost 8 inches off of my waist!”

I was so sick and tired of the gym scene. I wasn't seeing any results because there was nothing there to motivate me and all of those home workout machines were way too expensive. After joining iLoveKickboxing.com, I lost 29 lbs in 12 weeks! I couldn't believe I lost 8 inches on my waist AND gained 5 lbs of lean muscle! The classes are motivating, intense and a heck of a lot of fun. I also get great diet tips and train side by side with people just like me who wanna have fun, get fit and look great. Hands down, the best class I have ever taken!!! Thank you iLoveKickboxing.com!!!

Steve Ramirez, 36, Bank Manager

“I'm finally able to wear a bikini to the beach!”

“I was so frustrated with the gym, no matter what I did, I just couldn't lose the weight. Within 5 months of taking these kickboxing classes, I lost 32 lbs and got lean and toned. I still can't believe it when I look in the mirror. Now I can go to the beach and wear the bikini I bought 3 years ago. I am so thrilled”

Nicole Cindrel, 23

“I have so much energy, now my kids can't keep up with me”

“Before I joined iLoveKickboxing.com, I used to just lie around in bed all day and never had enough energy to play with my kids. Since I started 6 months ago, I’ve lost 41 lbs., I look better, I feel better and I have so much energy, now my kids can’t keep up with me!”

Diane Ramirez, 38

“Mother of 2 finally gets her sexy ‘beach-body ’ back!”

After my second baby, I had a terrible time trying to lose the weight. It seemed like my body would never go back to normal. After yo-yo dieting and trying different workout fads, I got a few of my cousins together to join my local iLoveKickboxing.com location because I heard that their Kickboxing classes were the best. I laughed when one of the instructors told me I could lose 20 lbs in 8 weeks. 21 pounds later and I’m still in shock. Thanks guys!

Tanya Tavares, 32, Housewife

“52 year old loses over 40 pounds!”

I always thought that being in my 50’s that I would never able to participate in a type of program that would help me lose weight AND tone muscle at the same time. I was totally proven wrong when i signed up at iLoveKickboxing.com. I was tipping the scale at 223 lbs. and after 12 weeks I had shed 41 pounds of ugly fat and got down to 182! Not to mention...a month after these pictures were taken, I dropped 8 MORE POUNDS! Plus I made lots of new friends and I am feeling so great about myself. This program gave me the confidence that I was looking for and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and exciting way to get in the best shape of your life!

Susan Gibson, 52

“Over 40 pounds gone in 3 months!”

As a business owner and an entrepreneur, I’m usually in the office all day making sure things run smoothly and efficiently. By the end of the day, I’m so drained that going to the gym just felt like a chore so I just stopped going. It didn’t take long for me to add on a ton of extra pounds. Even though I’ve trained in the Martial Arts for 30 years, the iLoveKickboxing.com program is the only program that got me motivated to WANT to work out! The staff here really takes the time out to make sure everyone gets the best workout possible and they always encourage me to push myself that extra mile. That’s something I was never able to do by myself at the gym. After a week of classes, I was already feeling a difference in my body and 3 months later, I’m down 43 pounds! Thanks guys!

Michael Parrella

“I’ve lost 17 lbs. and my dress fit perfectly.”

For years and years I NEVER had to worry about my weight or clothes fitting right or even working out, then all of a sudden, I stepped on the scale and realized I gained 20 pounds!!! I had recently gotten engaged and wanted to lose the weight (to look hot for my wedding) so I decided to join the iLoveKickboxing.com program. After 3 months of training and following their nutrition plan I lost 17 lbs. and my dress fit perfectly. I really want to thank my Instructors and the staff of iLoveKickboxing.com.

Christine Cali, 30, Sales Rep.

“I’ve lost fat, gained muscle, look and feel years younger and have a completely new positive attitude...”

I am a mother of two and having my two kids was the greatest gift a woman could ask for… though, I gained an extreme amount of weight and had no energy. Being a business owner and running after two kids, I had no choice but to get back on track exercising and eating healthy. I don’t know where I would be in my life if it weren’t for the iLoveKickboxing.com Program. I have so much to be thankful for and so grateful that I am now a slimmed down, healthy woman with all the confidence in the world. Thanks iLoveKickboxing.com. I truly would not be the person I am today if it wasn’t for your program helping me through my journey in getting into GREAT shape!

When You Connect With your "Chi" - Your Life Force

And the way Taekwondo helps you connect to your “chi” is through the techniques of the martial arts. Techniques that give you a GREAT workout, too.

You feel a boundless inner-strength

strength that you might not even see in yourself right now.

You discover how to stay calm,

even when everything around is hectic, and unstable.

And you develop the confidence to tackle any challenge

and succeed - because through mastering Taekwondo you see that you can do anything you set your mind to.

Weight Loss

Extremely Fast Weight-Loss

See, your whole body is moving in new ways, every class.

You'll move your legs in ways you never have with the different kicks and stances you learn.

You'll move your arms in new ways as you learn to strike, block, and hold special stances.

And because it engages your whole body – extra weight slips right off of you.

All in all, it's a life-changing experience.

And I believe in it so much that I've dedicated my life to bringing Taekwondo to as many people as possible.

It's been my journey to show people how to defend themselves, as well as how to connect to the inner-peace and calm that's there in all of us...

Sometimes we just don't see it.

Testimonials

For the first time in my life, I have a flat, toned stomach!

This is crazy... Even when I let my stomach hang out – I still see the muscles! I didn't even have a stomach like this in my teen years – or in my 20s. When we go to the beach... Or when I go for a jog and wear a sports bra... I feel GOOD. No more feeling self-conscious or worried about how I look. I just feel great, and energized. I've honestly never felt better!

Stacie Gray

I stood up to a 'tough guy' at the club - and he backed down!

Just wanted to let you know the other day I was at the club, and accidentally bumped into this guy. He must've been a little “off” or something because he started yelling and screaming calling me names. I looked him in the eyes and politely said, “Hey, I'm sorry for bumping you man. I'd rather not fight, but if we have to, let's go outside.” And I just looked him straight in the eyes. Normally I would've backed down. But after just a couple months of Taekwondo – I feel like I can defend myself. I'll never back down again.

James Dolan

I don't get heated up over the little stuff any more

One of the things we learn in class is not just how to control our bodies - but how to control our minds and emotions too. I feel now that I have an inner-calm now. It's like nothing can shake me. I'm polite and courteous in situations where I used to sometimes be short with people. I smile genuinely at all of my customers. I'm more appreciative of my family and friends. This is NOT just learning how to defend yourself. This is learning how to make your life even better. In every way.

Meagan Moore

Life-Changing Benefits

Here are a few more of the life-changing benefits you can expect from Taekwondo.

Extremely fast weight loss

Taekwondo is a full-body workout that burns tons of calories. Many people lose weight regardless of diet changes. Of course, when you eat right that makes the weight loss even faster. But either way, you're going to drop pounds if you have any pounds to drop.

Having FUN

This isn't like running on a treadmill for hours and hours... You'll be learning something new and exciting... Accomplishing challenges you never thought you could. Growing in physical strength, and in mental and spiritual strength

MAJOR Stress Relief.

Nothing relieves stress more than good, hard exercise. Add to that punching and kicking – and you're looking at the most powerful form of stress relief known to man! This alone makes Taekwondo worth it to so many people who don't have an outlet for their stress. When stress is suddenly gone from your life, it leaves space inside of you for good feelings to come.

Feeling like you're part of the family - right away

Often after just one class people tell us how they feel like they've known everyone for years. That's because we place a big emphasis on creating not just a great martial arts environment – but a family envi- ronment. You'll feel like part of the family in no time. And you'll know you're among people who really care about you and your success.

Knowing that you can defend yourself, in any situation

Women

No more feeling scared when you walk to your car late at night.

No more wondering what to do if you were ever attacked.

No more feeling scared when you walk to your car late at night. No more wondering what to do if you were ever attacked. You'll have the skills to defend yourself, and get away.

No matter where you are, you'll feel safe and secure and confident. You'll simply radiate confidence.

Men

Feel confident in your ability to defend your-self, and your loved ones.

This confidence alone scares away most attackers.

When they see how calm and cool you are - they'll think twice.

I've seen it happen countless times.

So what exactly is Taekwondo?

Technically, Taekwondo is simply the art of punching and kicking.

And preventing other people from punching and kicking you.

And most people think that's All it is.

They don't realize that the movements, the techniques, are only a tool.

A tool used to connect you to yourself. A tool used to help you control your mind, your body, and your emotions even more.

The ultimate goal of Taekwondo is to help you become more peaceful and balanced in your life.

Because when people feel great and excited every day - they carry it on to others.

FAQ

Will I get hurt?

Any physical activity can lead to injury - and Taekwondo is no exception - but because we place such care in keeping you safe.

We hardly Ever see any injuries here.

We guide you through the perfect way to do each technique. That way you don't do it in a way that harms your body. We also show you how to stretch properly – reducing your chances for injury even more. And you go at your own pace. That way you don't force your body to do anything it isn't capable of. Students who pick up on Taekwondo quickly are just as valued as the ones who need to slow down, and learn at a different pace.

Will this be really hard on my body? And is it violent?

People who do Taekwondo are never the ones to start fights. They're the ones who do everything in their power to avoid fights.

But if a fight has to happen, they're ready to defend themselves.

So no, Taekwondo is not violent. As far as your body goes... The exercise involved may be tough for you at first. But you're welcome to go at your own pace. This isn't the army or anything! We're here to support you and see you succeed. It may be a little hard on your body, but not so hard as to cause injuries. Just hard enough for a great, calorie-burning workout.
