The classes they run
“These aren’t just words on a wall; they are woven into the lessons in a way kids can understand, practice, and apply in real life.”
“It's a great way for them to learn discipline and self-defense instead of spending all day on their phones watching videos.”
“My 10-year-old is a type A and likes to get things right the first time and can feel frustrated when he doesn’t get it immediately.”

From the reviews
My daughters joined the classes here about a month ago. They absolutely love it, a great atmosphere, friendly instructor, and good lessons. We just participated in one of their events, what a great time. All the children seem to have a blast, while learning respect, and self confidence.
Absolutely wonderful right from the start. A family run business that really cares about the students. Attentive and fun teacher who really brought my kids confidence up. A place that teaches more than martial arts. Offers lots of fun activities and connection outside of class time. Includes the parents.
I am so happy that our son is part of the TKE training program. He has improved his habits at home and enjoys going to class. He eagerly counts down the hours until it's time for his class. Personally, I appreciate the way the instructor conducts the class.
My daughter has been training at TKE Martial Arts for almost a year now & I couldn’t be happier with the results. She has grown as a person, gained confidence, & is learning lifelong skills that is continually reinforced every class. KJN Russ is an excellent coach.
New to muay thai? Start at TKE Martial Arts
TKE Martial Arts comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, 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 to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, 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 gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first muay thai class at TKE 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.
