WHAT PEOPLE SAID:

Meeting Dawn and starting to train at SKA in 2018 proved to be a pivotal moment in my Martial Arts journey. After 20+ years in traditional Karate, I felt a call to action, a call to open my mind, challenge my assumptions, be a student and push the limits of my potential. Dawn helped me discover how to transition my karate skills to Kickboxing and lead me to victory in my first Muay Thai fight. She taught me a ton about exercise, nutrition and recovery. Dawn is a legitimate badass chick and has cultivated a fantastic community of noble warriors.

“My coach, Dawn Culgin is an amazing coach and mentor. She's kindhearted and has a passion for not just the sport of Kickboxing, but for Martial Arts in general. Being a world level fighter she has a lot of great insight for people aspiring to compete, as well as a 2rd degree black belt, she doesn't mess around! It's thanks to her that Sudbury Kickboxing Academy is the close family it is and it's a great easy-going place to train that pushes you to your limit. Thank you Dawn for making me who I am today!”

I recently moved back to Sudbury after a long time away. I was looking to get in some exercise and hopefully meet some new people in the process. I had been a Boxer before, but kickboxing was something very new to me. The range of age and experience level of the members really helped me to feel comfortable as I began learning something that is very challenging, and can seem intimidating to the uninitiated. I've found the coaches here are quite open-minded, and I was even asked to offer my experience as a Boxer to help with the other members' development. It is for reasons like this that it feels more like a community than a gym. It's been a great experience for me and I would definitely recommend it to anyone willing to step out of their comfort zone!

My name is Anne and I am a 58 year old student. I have been studying with Dawn for about 8 years. She and my fellow students have taught me so much about taking time for myself. Sometimes I start to fail in the responsibility and Dawn or another student reaches out and reminds me to get myself back on track. As I have gotten older I realize more and more about the importance of keeping physically active. Our classes push us both physically and mentally, to be the best we can be. We have as a club also done several socially responsible drives to support our community which again cements us as a family. I have days like anyone else where I can bargain in my brain thousands of reasons why I can just skip that class but it never fails that when I get in my car after the class, I feel proud of myself. I would encourage everyone to look for that thing that keeps you active.
