I got in the best shape I've been in since college. I went from being able to only do a few push-ups on my knees to pumping out 20+ at a time. The karate classes engaged my mind while working my body. Kickboxing left me exhausted but exhilarated at my progress. Most of all, it was so much fun. There is nothing like being out of breath from working out and laughing at the same time. Lastly, I've seen people post this before, but I've now experienced it myself - you become part of a family. I have moved away for work, but the people I met at KI continue to be dear friends. I encourage anyone to just give it a try; it will be more than worth your while.

Guru Guy is a truly world-class instructor and it's incredible to have someone like him in…read moreNewburyport. Prior to signing up, I had no experience in martial arts, but had a vague idea of what I was looking for. As a fan of MMA, and always enjoying the fighters with a Muay Thai background, I knew that's what I wanted to train. I also knew I didn't want to do "cardio kickboxing". On the flipside, I didn't want to train somewhere that was 100% focused on training active fighters! I wanted to learn *real* muay thai but in a somewhat casual manner. Guy Chase's gym is utterly perfect for this. Guru Guy will teach you the real thing. For instance, you aren't just going to hit bags repeatedly merely for the sake of bringing your heartrate up. He's going to make sure you're utilizing your range properly and not lowering your guard while you throw punches. You'll learn proper form, combinations, blocks, counters, etc. Everything is very practical and designed for maximum efficacy in the ring - like what you'd be taught in a gym in Thailand. I was also worried that there would be pressure to partake in hard sparring. There is sparring, however it's light and technical and you only partake if you want. As someone who is competitive and wants to put what I've learned to the test, but also doesn't want to eat heavy shots to the head, it's perfect. You'll see where you stand, but won't get beat up in the process :) The people who train there are great as well. Everybody is friendly and helpful.

There was a billing issue when I cancelled my membership (apparently because I opened my membership…read morein one location and cancelled it at another). I jumped to the conclusion that the overbilling was intentional and made a huge stink about it. I was wrong. Kevin showed me the website of his payment processor and it looked like my account as cancelled. He was able to get it all figured out, once he knew what the problem was. If you have a billing issue, especially when ending your membership, go to Kevin directly and give him the chance to make it right.

We enrolled him hoping karate would help with his mental focus and overall health. It has done wonders. We've also seen huge benefits in his self-confidence, core strength, and stretching flexibility. What we didn't expect is that Master Randall is such a great mentor for the kids. He often adds short stories in the middle of classes with moral messages; having the kids participate and building their social skills.
