From the reviews

This gym provides classes for boxing and karate. My son was a part of their boxing training camp and has been a member for 2 months now. This is not a boxing program that you'll find at a recreation center. They follow the USA boxing guidelines and rules.

★★★★★ — Shay, Sep 2025

My son goes here...There's multiple coaches here, so your kid can actually learn and not get lost in the crowd..They also have some of the best equipment with Air conditioning which is a plus!

★★★★★ — Aaron, Mar 2025

This place is great for kids. It can be a little intimidating at first but once they get get going and start making friends they won't want to leave. Great staff very helpful.

★★★★★ — Jorge, Feb 2019

I love what Rico does for the at risk kids in the area..the facility itself has every machine or free weight you could need to whip yourself into shape

Your first Karate class at Garland Police Boxing Gym

Nervous about walking into a Karate dojo for the first time? Almost everyone is, and a good sensei expects beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling basic stances, blocks, punches, and kicks — not hard sparring. Step to the side whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: athletic wear you can move in (or a gi if you have one); you'll train barefoot. What to bring: water, and a mouthguard if you have one — many dojos lend a loaner gi for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gi and the belt your dojo awards you. Kumite (sparring) eases in gradually, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the sensei. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.

Karate is a contact sport. Ease in, train within your limits, listen to your instructors, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
