Sare L. says, "Six years ago, I found Professor Lynn on Lessons.com during a time when I was traveling frequently for work and often felt uneasy about my personal safety. As a woman in my forties, I wanted to learn how to protect myself and build confidence while navigating unfamiliar places alone. I originally sought private lessons, but Professor Lynn invited me to join his small class of just four other students at the time. Saying yes to that opportunity was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Professor Lynn is an exceptional teacher who genuinely cares about his students—both inside and outside of the dojo. His guidance, patience, and commitment to helping each student grow have made a lasting impact on me. Training with him has been deeply rewarding, and over the years, I’ve progressed from a complete beginner with a white belt to earning my black belt—a journey I never imagined when I first started. Thanks to Professor Lynn, I not only feel physically stronger and more capable, but I also carry a newfound sense of confidence and calm wherever I go. I am truly grateful for his instruction, mentorship, and the empowering experience he’s helped create. I wholeheartedly recommend Professor Lynn to anyone looking to learn martial arts, gain practical self-defense skills, or simply grow in confidence and self-discipline." Read more

What make me most excited about teaching Martial Arts is watching students grow, reach milestones and break barriers. I love to see the confidence that it instills. In my 31 years in the Martial Arts I've seen some amazing transformations, from students on the spectrum, having temper tantrums who became strong confident adults, to kids so shy they cried when asked to use their voices becoming outspoken, to women growing confident enough to start their own business or chase their political dreams. I am a 7th Degree Black Belt in Shaolin Kempo Karate, which is the style I teach. It is a blended art which includes Kung fu, kempo, karate, Jiu j...

Your Boxing questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.com.

How much are boxing classes?

What are the weight classes in boxing?

The lightest class is called Strawweight and is for people that weigh 105 to 107 pounds. The largest is Heavyweight and is for people over 200 pounds.

Are boxing classes worth it?

Boxing classes are worth it if you're looking for a good whole-body workout or want to learn self-defense. Boxing is easier to learn and inexpensive compared to many gym memberships or martial arts classes.

Boxing is not only a good cardio workout, it also works out the arms, legs, and core. This fighting style also releases tension in a safe environment while helping you reach fitness goals.

How many boxing classes should I attend per week?

Most people attend boxing classes 1 to 3 times per week, though this depends on your budget and schedule. For the best results, consider exercising at the gym or at home in between classes to build strength and endurance.

What should I wear to a boxing class?

Wear comfortable, lightweight clothing and shoes to a boxing class. Most people wear shorts and a T-shirt or tank top. Remember to bring a water bottle and small towel to hydrate and remove sweat during the workout.

Reviews for Boston boxing classes

Recent success stories from people in the Boston area.
Rachel P.
Training at BLKK has been an amazing experience! As a busy mom, training once a week in the dojo has been a great way to have “me time” while juggling a busy schedule. I’ve gained a tremendous amount of self confidence while learning self defense techniques that will empower me in any situation. The workouts are great and I’ve meet lifelong friends. I highly recommend BLKK for anyone seeking martial arts or self defense training, or a just a great workout. I’ve been with Professor Lynn for 6+ years from white to black belt, and I’m looking forward to many more years of training.
