"I joined Emma's kickboxing class for the exercise (which was killer), but in KB, you also have to use your brain. I was reluctant at first, but now I am a regular attendee BECAUSE of the brain stuff...because that makes it so fun, and you even feel a bit hardcore when you get the steps. I feel huge gratitude for Emma because she's a star in every way: an incredible instructor, talented, ambitious, focused, strong ethos, and driven, and wants you to be, too. Not everyone has the privilege of having these sorts of classes where they live, and I take full advantage of it. Highly recommend!"

“I have been part of Emma’s kickboxing community for a little while now and her gift as a coach and instructor is incredibly transformative. Emma creates environment where her coaching inevitably leads to friendship, self & collective confidence building and vulnerability. Her ability to explain moves and combinations in a way that recognizes how there are many learning styles often lead to dots connecting in and outside of the gym. Kickboxing has been the final piece I needed to improve my life's "mechanics”. In the ways her explanation and cues help my moves click, her presence has helped me learn to trust myself on an incredible deep level. And while there is so much kindness in the community she’s creates space for the workouts are the perfect amount of challenging. Every. Single. Time. I am enamoured by the art of kickboxing because of this. Coaching is her purpose. Creating space for people to feel strong, fearless and seen is her purpose. ‘Profoundly impactful’ hardly does justice to describe it.”

"Kickboxing with Emma is my go-to for getting me sweating, refining my skills, and having fun. Emma knows her stuff and will challenge you to work hard, but she'll also support you to achieve at whatever level you're at. Kickboxing with Emma is a gas! And she will kick your ass! In the best way! You've gotta try it!"
