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

Robin K. says, "I'm excited to be writing about my experiences at Rick Wong's Chinese Martial Arts Center. Classes focus on personal improvement in a welcoming and supportive environment. In my adult class, there is a wide range of ages, fitness, experience, and abilities. Students have included extremely fit people in their 20s up to and including elderly or impaired people in their 80s. Rick's strong understanding of the body encourages good practice and minimizes the chance of injury. As a large-ish middle-aged woman, I find the content of classes are challenging but definitely achievable. Rick creates an environment that fosters learning, is non-competitive and non-toxic. Other students are encouraging and supportive. Rick is a kind and patient teacher who works well with students of all levels. More experienced students will recognize and appreciate Rick's depth of knowledge, while beginners can rest assured that they will be welcomed and treated respectfully. Whether you're a complete novice who is curious about Tai Chi or an experienced practitioner, Rick has a lot to offer. " Read more

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 Boxing questions, answered

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

How much are boxing classes?

  • Wraps or gauze: $5 to $20

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.

  • Get 3+ free estimates to compare.
  • Read their reviews on Lessons and Google.
  • Choose a gym that is licensed and experienced.
  • Get a written estimate and schedule before the classes begin.
  • Follow a payment schedule instead of making large payments up front.

  • How long have you been teaching boxing classes?
  • Are you licensed and insured?
  • How many students do you have?
  • Are you experienced teaching beginners?
  • Do you have any current openings?
  • Are there any other people in my weight class here?
  • How often would you recommend meeting based on my experience level?
  • Can I have an estimate or contract in writing?

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 was curious about tai chi, but wasn’t even sure what it was. I had heard that it was good for flexibility, balance, strength and relaxation. With more than a little nervousness and self-consciousness, I attended one of Rick Wong’s beginner classes. I was immediately welcomed into the group. After some stretching and warming up, Rick had us begin with very simple movements that he both demonstrated and explained. Every week we built on what we had practiced, and within a few months, we had learned a complete form. In addition to being a martial arts master, Rick is a practicing physical therapist who understands how the body moves. Not only is Rick a very knowledgeable teacher, he is very patient and kind. He never puts anyone on the spot, and he provides a lot of helpful information, including very useful explanations of the martial arts origins of various movements. Rick has many long-time students whose loyalty is a testament to his teaching ability, friendly demeanor and good humor. I highly recommend Rick Wong’s tai chi classes!

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!

I was on the competitive boxing team for a few years (I plan on a comeback after major life changes)... Everyone at NBC wants you to get better at the sport, better physically and ensure you're doing things properly. There isn't a single coach there without experience. I have taken conditioning classes, private lessons, strength classes, etc. And every single one of them were top notch. If you're there to get a good workout and to actually learn what boxing is all about, stop reading this and get to NBC!
