About Us

Kickboxing, Muay Thai & Boxing for Every Level

At TMK Martial Arts, we teach authentic, competitive kickboxing—but everyone’s welcome.
Our students range from parents looking for a great workout to fighters preparing for their next bout.

We train across three major disciplines:

American Kickboxing (Full Contact)
Above-the-waist kicks and powerful hands form the foundation of this classic kickboxing style. Perfect for developing balance, timing, and explosive striking.
Dutch Kickboxing (K-1 / Glory Rules)
Known for its fast-paced rhythm and hard low kicks, this discipline blends boxing combinations with efficient, aggressive striking. Limited clinch knees make it high-intensity and competition-ready.
Full Muay Thai
The “Art of Eight Limbs” — elbows, knees, clinch work, and sweeps. Our Muay Thai program teaches control, precision, and respect for the tradition behind this dynamic martial art.
Boxing
The heart of every striking art. Develop solid fundamentals, defense, and ring awareness through technical drills and conditioning under experienced boxing coaches.
