Art of Kickboxing: Opinions
Fantastic experience: Perfect place
Fantastic experience: Started coming to Art of Kickboxing about 3 weeks ago after the initial trial class. Coaches Kris, Jimmy and Daniel are all very welcoming, patient and have a passion for teaching. While I am a beginner, I was never treated with disrespect or made to feel that I was incompetent compared to the rest of the class. Thank you to all the coaches!
Fantastic experience: Came for a fundamentals class via Classpass. Even though I had no experience and it was a mixed level class, Chris and Dominic was very patient with me. I loved the small class environment which allows for a lot of feedback. Great supportive environment!

I have been to other gyms before but Art of Kickboxing really stands out by creating a wonderful environment where they give you person specific coaching and providing a non-intimidating environment that really helps all students learn. This is very different from gyms that are more intimidating due to the culture or with coaches that do not value giving individual tailored coaching. As a result, I would definitely recommend Art of Kickboxing for both Kids and Adults who are potentially interested in learning martial arts!

It means a lot to me and the team that you appreciate the effort we put into creating a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment at Art of Kickboxing.

Thanks Yui for the review!
Fantastic experience: Kris Tang is my personal trainer. He is knowledgeable, encouraging, and overall an excellent coach! He understands human biomechanics and is able to quickly spot, explain, and correct my incorrect postures (a result of many years of office work). He then developed an easy-to-follow but highly effective training program that strengthen my muscle groups that eventually corrected my slouching upper body posture and my ankles/calves/legs, which helped me greatly in walking and other sport activities. I understand Kris also teaches kickboxing and he has a passion and a deep background in martial arts. Thank you Kris, you are an excellent trainer, and I would have given you 6 stars if they would only let me! So, you definitely deserve 5 BIG stars!!! Keep up your great work!

Fantastic experience: I first met Kris in 2020 at the UFC Gym in Richmond BC. He's a coach/instructor for kickboxing & jiu-jitsu classes, along with being a personal trainer for those learning bodybuilding or powerlifting. He's perfect for all beginners, women, kids, teens and adults living in the Metro Vancouver region. Especially for those who may be self-conscious, nervous, or have anxiety about learning a combat sport or fitness exercises. He's exceptionally patient and knowledgable about everything I asked him, when it comes to MMA and weightlifting, including muay thai and competitions. I was looking to get into kickboxing lessons as a way to retrain my brain after a bad concussion accident at home, also for fitness and stress. We did weekly personal training sessions for a period of 2 years. I'm convinced he could take someone to the professional level if they wanted to compete. He's very patient and easy to talk to, and he takes the effort to completely answer all my questions and explains everything thoroughly. He's very knowledgeable about MMA and also trained in Jiu-jitsu, and he showed me a few things. He's honest and not sleazy or hasty like most personal trainers that just try to make money off you with a carrot on a stick. He doesn't try to cheat you. He genuinely cares about his students. I highly recommend him for personal training or even classes to meet new people.
