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...

Walker W. says, "This is a testimonial for martial arts training with Head Instructor Ravi. His Martial Arts training is amazing and has benefited me greatly in many ways. In his classes, we study many styles, like Tai chi, Shaolin kungfu, karate, and Bagua. We learn short exercises, practice short forms along with longer forms. Mental and physical health go hand in hand, so in practicing these movements, Head Instructor Ravi teaches us how to maintain our physical health and mental balance, but most importantly to practice discipline in everything we do in life. Head Instructor Ravi's teachings in discipline and patience, has had a huge effect on my life. I learned how to study well in school, how to practice music effectively and how to be content with our practice. We all learn that you have to practice and repeat many times before you understand the movements, and you have to practice slowly and thoughtfully before you can move quickly and look awesome. Most importantly, Head Instructor Ravi's training has shown me how to internalize these mantras by developing physical and mental stamina. If you want to learn how to better yourself both physically and mentally, I highly recommend Head Instructor Ravi's teachings, he is an excellent guide. Thank you" Read more

Your Kickboxing questions, answered

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

How much do kickboxing classes cost?

Kickboxing classes cost $120 to $170 per month on average. Prices depend on the number of classes per week included in the membership plan and the gym or studio location. Membership plans that include unlimited classes per month typically fall at the higher end of the range.

Most gyms also offer drop-in classes for $30 to $50 each. On-demand kickboxing classes offered online cost $20 to $40 per month.

What is kickboxing?

Kickboxing is a full-contact combat sport that relies on striking movements, including punches, kicks, and knees. Competitive fights typically take place in a boxing ring, with fighters wearing boxing gloves, shorts, and mouth guards. Muay Thai, karate, and most other martial arts incorporate aspects of kickboxing.

In recent years, kickboxing has been adapted into a high-intensity calorie-burning fitness workout.

What is the difference between kickboxing and boxing?

Traditional boxing only allows punches, while kickboxing allows punches, kicks, and knees.

Is kickboxing a good workout?

Kickboxing is an excellent high-intensity workout that combines cardio and strength training to provide a variety of health and fitness benefits:

  • Build your strength and tone your muscles
  • Burn fat and lose weight
  • Improve your cardio health
  • Increase your endurance
  • Boost your energy
  • Improve your balance and coordination

A kickboxing fitness class can burn 350 to 450+ calories per hour, depending on the intensity level and class length.

Is kickboxing good for self-defense?

Kickboxing can be effective for self-defense if learned from a martial arts studio. The sport incorporates strikes like punching and kicking while also teaching you to evade or defend against attacks. However, kickboxing doesn't incorporate grappling moves like those found in Jiu-Jitsu or Aikido that help you to escape an attacker holding you on the ground.

Cardio kickboxing fitness classes don't provide self-defense skills but will improve your strength, coordination, and endurance.

How long do kickboxing classes last?

Kickboxing fitness and martial arts classes typically last 45 to 60 minutes.

Where to find kickboxing classes near me?

Follow these tips to find the best kickboxing studio near you:

  • Compare membership packages from multiple studios.
  • Read studio and instructor reviews on Lessons and Google.
  • Confirm the studio offers classes for your experience level.
  • Visit the studio to confirm it's clean and well-maintained and the staff is professional.
  • Take advantage of their free or discounted trial class to ensure the studio is a good fit for you.
  • Get a copy of the membership contract in writing before making any payments.

What questions should I ask kickboxing studios?

Ask these questions to ensure you find the best kickboxing studio for you:

  • What membership plans do you offer, and how much do they cost?
  • Do you offer a free or discounted trial class?
  • What is your class schedule?
  • Are your classes beginner-friendly?
  • Are your classes more fitness-oriented or martial arts-oriented?
  • How many people are in a typical class?
  • How long does each class last?
  • What should I wear to class?
  • Do I need to be in good shape before I take a class?

Reviews for Somerville kickboxing classes

Recent success stories from people in the Somerville 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.

I'm thrilled to say that Will continues to enjoy your Martial​ Arts program. It’s been a wonderful source of confidence and inspiration for him. He's so happy to be part of it -- thank you for making such a unique, empowering program available in this community, Ravi. ​I will continue to refer others, especially those challenged with how to engage their kids in physical activities and disciplines. Options like what you offer are critical in a town where other mainstream sports can predominate (and perhaps discourage kids from pursuing other physical activity options.) Again, thank you!
