World Kickboxing Academy

Fantastic experience: Great guys here, really liking my experience so far

Fantastic experience: Hey if I want to actually have kick boxing Matches as a pro or amateur fighter would this be the gym to go I have some kickboxing but I want to improve and go do competitions

Fantastic experience: Came in for BJJ. Everyone was super nice, the mats were clean, and Jason (the instructor) was very knowledge and helpful. The process to get in was very straight forward and expectations were clear. Great place to train.

Fantastic experience: I've been training BJJ at WKA for about a month now. Jason is a great instructor, and I have already learned a ton from him. I would highly recommend WKA for anybody looking to get into the sport!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Quality This is an incredible place. Worth every penny and more. Out of the four martial arts gyms I've trained at, this is my favorite. Mr. Madigan runs a professional and well-trained program and staff. The energy is great at his place, second to none. All you need to come train is a willingness to learn. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Dropped in for the 9 AM Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class. Instructor was very professional, friendly and made me feel welcome. All of the members were friendly and made me feel welcome as well. The Jujitsu is on point, rolls were awesome, facilities are world class, and this will be my go to spot when I’m visiting from now on. If I lived here full-time I would definitely join and train here.

Fantastic experience: What a great gym! The atmosphere is fantastic and everyone there is so nice and helpful! Whatever your reason for wanting to learn kickboxing, whether it's to learn a skill for self defense, to have some fun and try something new, or to become an MMA fighter, I can't think of a better place to go.

Fantastic experience: Great place for adults and children to learn skills not just for sports but for life. The level of skill in the instructors is top notch. Master Madigan runs a world class gym.

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism Really friendly and accommodating. I was away from my gym back home for work and they let me train here during that time. They were friendly and helpful right off the bat and I really appreciated them letting me train there.

Fantastic experience: Awesome place to get your cardio and self defense workout! Very friendly staff.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend WKA for their kickboxing classes! Their classes are the perfect combination of cardio while teaching you kickboxing techniques. Le'Roy and Hannah will really push you in the best way possible to get you past your comfort zone. I never leave without being drenched in sweat. A great gym and a great owner too.

I always look forward to the next class! Ryan and Roy are Amazing instructors! They are turning up the heat on us and I love it!! Thanks Guys!

Fantastic experience: Highly effective Muay Thai workouts offering fast paced cardio as well as both simple and complex self defense techniques. Head Instructor Madigan went the distance professionally in the UFC and offers an elite academy of trained coaches where egos are left at the door. I have to stress that the place is always squeaky clean, both students and instructors make the effort to provide a safe environment to train. Between every class the mats are carefully sanitized and pads are cleaned mid-workout. You truly get what you put in here, and more, the months I've trained here I've seen great improvements in cardio and fitness as well as more confidence in my defense. Enough said

Fantastic experience: The staff at this facility is top notch. Instructors are professional and knowledgeable. Class times vary but are reasonable and flexible.

Fantastic experience: Love it here. Everyone is accepting and encouraging of wherever your skill level is. It is a great community I'm proud to be a part of!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Professionalism Ryan is a great teacher with many years of professional fighting under his belt. He has a great gym and I haven't trained in the Ju-jitsu there yet, but it looks to be at the same level of professionalism.

Fantastic experience: I've been attending WKA for a little over a year, and was a complete beginner to martial arts prior to starting. Kickboxing has since become a staple of my week and a source of great stress relief as well as an engaging way to improve my physical fitness. I work full time and also attend graduate school, so my time is limited but I go out of my way to ensure I get to WKA several times a week. Ryan Madigan and staff have extensive experience, including professional competition, so you can rest assured that you'll be learning from the best. In addition to the experience they offer, they have created an environment that promotes respect for the art as well as everyone who walks through the door. I'm proud to say I learn at WKA and can confidently say all my training partners would agree. If you're at all curious, I urge you to come out and try a class! This is truly a special place that goes above and beyond to ensure new members have a good experience.

Fantastic experience: I have not move my body this much in a very long time and I cannot wait for Thursday to arrive for my next class. I love this place!

Fantastic experience: I can't say enough good about WKA. I found their kickboxing 16 week challenge on Facebook and thought I'd give it a try....best decision of my life. They are warm, accepting, motivating, professional, the facility is clean-- every employee there genuinely cares about every customer. World class coaching. They have changed my life for the better!!!

Fantastic experience: Ryan and his team have done a fantastic job making new members feel welcome. Their Champion Fit classes provide a workout like no other. I will continue to use this gym as my primary workout facility.

Fantastic experience: Best instructors around! They make you feel like you belong and will teach you regardless of skills. They don’t just offer adult classes they also have a fun and exciting for the kids as well! I started my journey about 2 years ago and I’m glad I did. The other students are great as well, it is just this amazingly positive environment filled with some of the best people you’ll get to know. It’s a must check out for anyone slightly interested and I guarantee you’ll be glad you did.

Fantastic experience: Great prices, instructors, and patrons. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Great atmosphere! Professional instructors! So far I’m learning a lot.....I’ve been to other gyms in the past and I’ve learned more at this one in the past few classes then I did at the others in a few months. Excited for future classes!!

Fantastic experience: I've known Ryan Madigan, the owner, for about 10 years. I was running my own program out of a health club but when they cancelled it I signed up at World Kickboxing Academy the next day. In 37 years of training martial arts, I haven't been happier. Ryan is a first class coach and athlete. He's always upbeat and positive and he runs his academy the same way. He's got a staff of like minded people, attracts good people to enroll and his gym is full of some of the best folks I've ever met. Run, don't walk, to train with him. You aren't going to find anyone else with his skill, ability and good nature.

Fantastic experience: My daughter and I joined Ryan's cardio kickboxing over five years ago. It was the best decision I ever made. He is an excellent coach. He is very patient. He customizes the class to fit your skill level but still be challenging. I highly recommend joining world kickboxing academy to all my friends.

Fantastic experience: Really great and awesome folks loving learning extra kickboxing/muaythai tips and sparring from them

Fantastic experience: Ryan Madigan is a amazing kickboxing instructor. Everyone at the gym makes you feel welcome. Highly recommend this gym.

Fantastic experience: This gym and the people in it are all fantastic. Some of the best people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting! I couldn't recommend this place enough. A family!

Fantastic experience: My 11 year old is bully proof thanks to Ryan Madigan and staff. Facility is clean. State of the art equipment. Top notch training!!

Fantastic experience: This was a great experience for me. I learned so much in 2 hours. Let me back up. I'm from Columbus and I come here for work. I train back home and thought I'd stop in to see if i could roll with these guys and gals. They welcomed me with open arms and everyone was eager to help if they saw something I could improve. Big thank you goes out to everyone. I will be back next trip!

Fantastic experience: Just finished my first month at the WKA. Cannot recommend it highly enough. My overall flexibility and fitness has improved dramatically from attending classes, and the price is extremely reasonable. Positive, professional, and (most importantly) safety conscious environment. You won’t find better instructors or classmates.

Fantastic experience: If you or your children want to learn kickboxing or jiu jitsu there is no better place! Ryan is a tremendously talented and caring instructor. The entire staff and other students are welcoming and the facilities are always clean. You owe it to yourself to stop in and give WKA a try, you won't be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: Signing my son up at WKA was one of the Best decisions I’ve made. At 17 I wanted him to have an outlet with positive influences. Ryan Madigan is hands down the most Amazing instructor around. He inspires every student that walks through the door! Five years later my son can’t get enough of this place. He has gained confidence, responsibility, and and the skills needed to compete. The entire WKA team is a family that welcomes everyone!

Fantastic experience: Been going to WKA for a few months now, and I have to say I'm glad I chose this gym. I always wanted to do martial arts for personal development and I finally got around to it. The environment is friendly and welcoming with very skilled and knowledgeable instructors for Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. They're accommodating for all age groups and experience levels. There are kids classes and adult classes at various times throughout the week, so there's no excuse to not get a few workouts in. Everyone from beginners to pro fighters train at WKA and there's a lot of expertise to go around. It's a great gym if you're serious about competing as a fighter, or if you're just looking to get in better shape. After going here for a while, you'll feel like part of the fight community. I've improved my flexibility, cardio, strength, technique, and overall fitness since I started, and I would recommend it to anyone looking to train in martial arts.

Fantastic experience: Great place to learn more about yourself. You will immediately feel yourself belonging on the team when you join us. The Jiu Jitsu program is fun and challenging under Coach Jason and the Muay Thai program is lively and approachable with Coach Madigan. Very glad I made the decision to stop in.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic gym with top of the line instructors and other students. The Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program with Jason is not only fun but immensely beneficial to improving grappling experience. It is a female friendly environment and filled with people who are always looking to help you improve. Will recommend this gym without reservation

Fantastic experience: WKA is a fantastic martial arts academy. They have a really nice facility and the staff is very knowledgeable, experienced, and dedicated. They promote a family friendly, accepting and positive atmosphere. They go above and beyond for the students and are actively involved in helping the community. This is a great place for someone just interested in staying in shape or also someone looking to eventually compete. Highly recommended.
