Our three boys love being part of Kiefer’s Martial Arts dojo. It’s been a great experience for them. We lost my brother this last summer and he did a lot with our family and our boys needed something to help them focus on something other than their loss.

All three of my daughters started with Kiefer’s a few months ago after a birthday party and a free trial program. We all love coming to karate. They think they’re just having fun, but the benefits at home and school that we’ve already seen are beyond compare.

★★★★★ — Cherilyn, Mar 2023

My 5 year old son has been a student here for about 2 months now and absolute loves going to class. He has developed his focus , listening skills, and is loving learning new moves! The instructors are great with the kids , keep them focused on the class and keep it entertaining for everyone !

★★★★★ — Rachel, Feb 2023

My son Brayden has been attending Kiefer’s Martial Arts for almost two years, and the growth we’ve seen in him has been truly incredible. His confidence has soared, and he genuinely looks up to the senseis as role models. The dojo has become his safe space — a place where he feels supported, heard, and valued.

Your first muay thai class at Kiefer's Martial Arts

Nervous about walking into a muay thai 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 on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals 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.

Muay thai is a contact sport. Ease in, 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.
