Programs

The best thing that you could do, would be to schedule a time to come in to our school.  We’ll give you a tour, an 8-page information kit, get all your questions answered, and define the program that best fits your goals and budget.  Contact us to schedule a time now and discover how we can help you and your family.

We are here to make a difference.  We don’t need your money.   Therefore, our tuition is very affordable.  We realize that a lot of families in our area are struggling financially.  All we ask is that you cover our expenses. 

Scholarships are available.  If you are interested in sponsoring a local scholarship to enable another child to participate, simply contact us, or input ”Sponsor” for student name in the  store.  If you’d like, we’ll let you know who you sponsored, and you can monitor their progress, even attend their belt promotions, all anonymously if you choose :)

Zumba – $10/month unlimited

Zumba Fitness enables you to ditch the workout and join the party!  Zumba combines various dance steps and fitness moves choreographed to high energy Latin and popular music mixes.   Zumba has become the newest and most popular fitness craze now in over 120 countries!

Caution: Not all instructors are the same. Whether you love to dance, or just want to burn some calories while having fun at the same time, try a Zumba class with Kardio Kim Johnson!

“I’ve been to Zumba classes in lots of places and Kim is the best.  I never feel crowded because the room is so large and open.  The mats are easier on my knees.  The mirrors make it easy to see Kim’s lead.   The sound system rocks.  And most of all, I love Kim’s smile, enthusiasm, and words of encouragement in every class.”  Julie Z.

Kim is featured on YouTube.  See many of her dances on her channel “KardioKim”  In the first few months alone, Kim had over 50,000 views.  All her dances, as well as complete online classes are available at KardioKim.com  Learn, practice, and workout at home or on the road!

Kardio Kickboxing – $10/month unlimited

Kardio Kickboxing enables you to tone, strengthen, and burn massive calories while having fun!  Kardio combines various fitness moves and kickboxing techniques choreographed to a variety of high energy music!  While some classes do include punching and kicking on a pad, we never punch or kick each other!  You’ll not only get in the best shape of your life, you’ll be able to kick some butt too!

Kim Johnson’s Kardio Kickboxing…It’s a kick-butt, sweat pouring, bag slamming, aggression releasing, leg burning, power punching workout for the raging kickboxer deep inside us all!

Both men and women participate in both Zumba Fitness and Kardio Kickboxing.  Teens are welcome too!  Some people are concerned whether they have enough coordination to participate…let me assure you that your attitude is much more important than your coordination!  Come expecting to have fun and get fit, and you’ll do great.  Most people get very comfortable very quickly.  We won’t judge you, so just keep moving, and stay positive.  We congratulate you that you are doing something to improve yourself, and we are honored that you are doing with us!

“I can’t believe I’ve been wasting my time and money taking classes at other places. For half the money I get twice the workout here! I love your high energy and variety.”  Deb H.

“It has been exciting to see all the improvements in Kevin’s development.  Grades are better.  He shows more respect and care toward everyone, even his siblings.  He is more confident and simply happier.  I can’t thank you enough.” – Ralph M.

“After being bullied for years by the same kid, Jim finally stood up for himself.  You taught him to avoid fighting unless absolutely necessary.  Well, he finally decided it was necessary.  He got three days off school, but it was worth it to see his new sense of self-worth.  The teacher and principal all said the kid had it comin’, but there was only so much they could do.   I’m sure he won’t be bothering Jim any longer.  Thank you.”  — Bill F.

“Don, Your classes have brought our family closer together.  We’ve always supported our kids, but this is the only thing we could actually do together.  Thank you!” –  Carrie M.

“Don Johnson’s martial arts classes have been the best thing that I’ve ever invested in for me and my boys.  It had been a long time since I considered myself  an athlete.  My son’s are teenagers, and I wanted to do something with them that we’d all enjoy.  We love it.”   –  Ken B.

“When we heard about your family program, we thought it was too good to be true.  One place, one time, one price for our entire family of 7!  Schedules and finances were impossible in other activities.  For over three years, Don Johnson’s martial arts has been a tremendous blessing to our family.”  –  Bill V.
