I've been going to ILKB for about 4 months now. The staff is beyond amazing, supportive, and motivating. I used to hate going to the gym and working out because it felt like a chore. Ever since I started kickboxing at the Karate Academy of Bethpage working out has become fun and exciting. It's always something new so it never gets boring, and going to class is one of the best parts of my day. I look forward to every class because of the staff and all of the friends I've made. ILKB lets you challenge yourself in a fun and exciting way. Hands down the best support system and instructors I've ever met. This is the place to be.

Our whole family is involved with The Karate Academy of Bethpage. They say, "The family that kicks together sticks together" and this couldn't be more true. It is rare that you are able to find a place where the instructors are amazing with children of all ages and are able to run killer workouts for adults. Their kickboxing classes are second to none! The classes are a combination of strength, cardio, and work with the gloves and bag. We have been at this school for 4 years and they continue to come up with new and exciting events for both karate and kickboxing. I would highly recommend them to everyone!

The Karate Academy Of Bethpage in Bethpage, Forget the gym Ilovekickboxing Bethpage is a great place for an awesome workout! The first 1/2 hour is jam packed with cardio-from jogging to push-ups, jumping jacks, burpees and mountain climbers just to name a few of the moves. Just when you feel you can't move another muscle you get a break-yes that's right you get to glove up and take it out on the bag. For the next 1/2 hour you will learn a combination of punches and kicks. Finally it's time to cool down and stretch out.

This is a workout that will make you sweat, ache yet still crave more. I go 3 nights a week and actually look forward to each workout. No matter what your Fittness level this is the program for you.

The instructors are great teachers. They take time to show you the proper moves and make sure your doing it right so you don't hurt yourself.

I highly recommend The Karate Academy of Bethpage. Try just one class and you'll be hooked like me :)

I started kickboxing on Long Island back in 1999 and have kickboxed my way through countless personal and professional adversity, undergraduate and graduate study in psychotherapies, and continual and ongoing immersion into self-defense study. Since 1999, and for the previous 14 years, I have kickboxed, in and out of, countless private and public gyms, Dojo’s, and professional training schools across Long Island, Tucson, and stretching throughout Los Angeles. I have remained at The Karate Academy of Bethpage (www/ilovekickboxing.com), not only for the longest amount of time at any formal place of instruction, but have done so as a direct result of the level of professionalism and knowledge shown by the instructors, mission of the school (i.e., honesty, integrity, character), and amount of positive energy created in each class. From my first day of kickboxing at the school, and with 12 years of kickboxing under my belt, I was treated with dignity, respect, and extended courtesies that were not granted to me at other schools. For example, the instructors were never rude (they never told me how my body should be feeling when obviously I am an expert on that and know and understand what it is capable of doing and not doing), never entered my personal space unless I agreed it was ok, and communicated with me on a variety of levels both verbally and non-verbally. Having all of those accommodations, I have found to be rare, amongst even my top three favorite places to kickbox in the country! I would not hesitate for even a split-second to extend an extremely high and awesome recommendation to The Karate Academy of Bethpage (www.ilovekickboxing.com) and every instructor working there as they have done nothing but positively influence any kickboxing routine or technique I have learned throughout my journey.
