Folsom and El Dorado Hills, CA Kickboxing classes help you burn fat and tone your body so much that you'll…
Kickboxing: Is a combination of a group of martial arts that were formulated out of the standup striking arts of Karate, Muay Thai, Boxing, and other various kicking and punching arts. It is a great form of fitness since it requires you to use both your legs and hands while in constant movement. By using your body in this motion you get a great workout that burn massive calories, builds your muscle tone, and helps give you confidence from the self defense skills you learn. You will also develop flexibility, focus, coordination, balance, and strengthening of the mind.
Western Boxing: Boxing has its history carved in the times that date back to the 688 B.C. years when the ancient Greeks added it as a sport in the Olympic Games. It has taken on many changes since then with rules being added by Western Boxing to give it a more favorable sport to watch. This is a great martial art added to the program because boxing is very cardio based and requires you to use a lot of calories to maintain your body in motion.
Muay Thai: Is a stand up art that has its history from Thailand. These fighters use their knees, elbows, fists, and legs to punch and kick with to take down their opponent. Adding the knees and elbows of Muay Thai to our Kickboxing program rounds it out and helps you do easy techniques and makes it fun and exciting to learn how to use your whole body to get you in shape.
Kyuk Too Ki / Korean Kickboxing: Is a total fighting system that includes punching, kicking, locking, throwing, and choking. It is also known by Kun Gek Do as well as Gwon-gyokdo. Kyuk Too Ki, has been said to be a rule-set rather than the actually martial arts style. Again using the whole body for a workout, you get the maximum amount of calorie burn to help you lose weight FAST!
"Finally…the exact type of Martial Arts program I have been looking for. Since our relocation back to the Folsom area, I had been actively looking for the right Martial Arts center for me and my family. After speaking with Master Jason, I knew that I found what I was looking for with the Folsom Martial Arts Center.
As a former Special Agent with the FBI, I have learned to appreciate the value of incorporating multiple disciplines into a well-balanced program. I wasn't interested in a single art form type of program. Federal and local law enforcement agencies, as well as elite military units, utilize the best of all forms of self-defense to quickly deal with threats and subdue their attackers. That is what I was looking for and that is what I found with Master Jason.
Master Jason's program incorporates the very best of Kickboxing, Boxing, Thai-Boxing, Military TaeKwonDo, Hapkido, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and others, to create a very well balanced and effective form of self-defense. He is an incredible instructor providing a very welcoming environment for children and adults alike. It is very comforting to me knowing that, not only am I and my family developing effective self-defense skills, they are learning the value of respect, confidence, discipline, self-esteem, and physical fitness; and having fun doing it. I see the growth in our minds and bodies everyday.
Master Jason, I could not have asked for anything more. Thank you for all of your hard work in putting together such a fantastic program and the care with which you handle your students."

"There was a time when I could not fathom how martial arts could be considered an 'art.' How on earth, I wondered, could the action of kicking, punching, and grappling be viewed as artistic? In my mind, martial arts was something that men practiced if they wanted to learn how to fight. But this was all before I met Master Jason and started training at Folsom Martial Arts Center. Little did I know that there is an entirely different world to martial arts that most people are either oblivious to or are even afraid of – a world in which our mind, body and spirit – together – are part of who we are. I am learning effective, practical self-defense while standing and if I have to go to the ground with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and I am strengthening my body each time that I train. I can honestly say that I feel confident in my ability to defend myself if need be. The fact that Master Jason is a US Marine and a martial artist of over 20 years makes me feel confident about what he teaches me. You'd think someone who was a Marine would be mean or aggressive, and yet Master Jason is one of the most humble and polite people whom I've met. The fear that was once there – the thought of 'What if someone tries to attack me…what to do I do?' is no longer as significant as it once was. But I am also strengthening my mind each time that Master Jason makes me meditate and reflect on what I've learned in class. Each time that I meditate, I reach a level of mental clarity and I feel a sense of peace. There is no other feeling in the world like it.

I happened to stumble upon Master Jason's school and curiosity drew me in. When I walked in the door, I was greeted by a very friendly person by the name of Lisa. Lisa had nothing but great things to say about the school and about Master Jason (I simply call him Master now). I told Lisa about my past experience with the martial arts and about my last serious instructor, who was a Marine and a very "no non-sense" kind of man.
Well, Lisa was very eager & enthusiastic to tell me that Master Jason could probably teach me the way my old instructor did, and that I would be surprised at his ability to teach. I thought silently, here we go again!!! Having one leg shorter than the other and being "handicapped", I had my doubts. Man, was she right!!!!!
I sat down and spoke to Master Jason about my goals, and what I was looking for in an instructor. While talking to him, I knew right then and there he was and is the real deal!!!! I could not wait to get started, but my schedule at work and my budget forced me to put it off for a few weeks. When I finally started, I expected him to go through the motions of review, a lot of air punching and kicking, and for him to see where my skill set was, and like all the others, hold back until 3 or 4 more sessions later to really give me a true lesson in the martial arts. He had me sweating in the first 5 minutes of training & did not let up until the end of the lesson.
Like a Drill Sergeant, he was ordering me to push, keep going, and don't give up!!! I was floored and pleasantly amazed at his ability to train and to motivate. Training here has been the best decision I ever made & hope to reach many goals under the wing of Master Jason. He is helping me to lose weight, improve my agility, and he is helping me to achieve personal goals of competing & being a better martial artist and a better person. I truly look forward to training everytime I am on the mat. But the best part of the school is the people who train here. I feel right at home with everyone here. From the average Soccer mom, to the fittest person here is friendly and attitude free. I urge anyone who is looking to try the martial arts for fitness, self defense, competition, or whatever reason you are looking to train, don't wait. Call Master Jason, NOW!!!!"

"I had been studying Taekwondo for over a year now and recently became a member of Folsom Martial Arts Center since November of 2010. Compared to other martial arts studios that I have trained at Folsom Martial Arts focuses on a practical, realistic approach to martial arts. The techniques that master Jason teaches has real world practical uses in self defense which translates into a firm understanding of motion and gives purpose to form.
The other difference that I have seen is Master Jason is interested in you succeeding in your goals; not just moving you through a program but making sure that you gain an understanding of what you are practicing and giving you focus on why you are practicing.
Folsom Martial Arts Center builds your body and mind and helps you to focus on your martial arts goals; you learn a true form of mixed martial arts that can be applied anywhere anytime as needed."

"There are lots of Martial Arts schools in Folsom and I visited a number of websites before I stumbled upon Folsom Martial Arts Center. The first thing that struck me as different about Folsom Martial Arts Center was the video of women and kids training at Master Jason's studio. It immediately assured me that this was a family-oriented studio and that I would feel comfortable training there as a woman. After reading Master Jason's impressive credentials and training philosophies, I decided to make the call and sign up for my free trial.
After 7 days of training, I was hooked! Master Jason delivers high-quality and professional training that teaches you valuable self-defense skills while giving you an incredible workout! He takes the "intimidation factor" out of Martial Arts and breaks down each movement in a simple and practical way. Whether you're looking to train to be a champion, or be empowered to defend yourself, Folsom Martial Arts Center is the place for you!"
