I went to my first class at Bars Boxing in Staten Island, NY about two month ago and I was instantly hooked! The instructor is energetic, incredibly knowledgeable, and positive. He takes the time to show new students how to do it properly. In my first Kickboxing class, I had an instructor with me, one-on-one the entire time showing me how to do each move properly. It made it possible for me to understand what I needed to do, enjoy it and kept me from injuring myself. At each class, new students get an instructor one-on-one throughout the class. You dont see that type of support and care at most places. The classes are so much fun and theres a great sense of camaraderie amongst the students and instructor. The classes are upbeat, fun and its always different. Its an incredible workout and you burn bazillion calories, but you really enjoy it. The instructor is absolutely wonderful. You couldnt ask for a better team. Im excited to see the changes to my body, week by week and after just two month, I can already see them. Im stronger and I feel better and my outlook is definitely more positive than when I first started. Best decision Ive made in a long time was to join Bars Boxing.

My high school friend kept telling me how great of a workout these kickboxing classes gave her and that I needed to try it out. I really like that coach Akmal took the time to call me (my friend explain to him how shy I am) and welcome me to my first class and then checked in with me after class to see how much I liked it. I took my first class a few months ago and I was amazed. The coach is awesome and energetic, and the classes are so worth it. I really enjoy the encouragement I get from all the members in class. I was out of class for a little while because of health reasons...but I was welcomed back with a fun class and the coach that were really happy to see me back. I love Bars Boxing. Its an awesome kickboxing school in Staten Island and you will have so much fun that you wont even know that its just an hour because youre always moving. Check it out!!

Kickboxing classes here in Bars Boxing in Staten Island are really better than anywhere else. Ive personally had the privileges to learn kickboxing at other locations in New York. I cant say enough about Bars Boxing and their instructor. I started kickboxing there back in August of 2011. I absolutely love everything about it. The workout is Amazing, the instructor is Amazing and the members are Amazing. It feels like one big happy family and I would strongly recommend this school to anyone who is looking to get into the best shape of their lives and you can have fun doing it. Im stronger and leaner today than I was three years ago. Master Zakirov knows how to make you feel like a million dollars as well as all the other team members. So go ahead and give it a try for yourself, I guarantee you going to love it!

My son Jordan has been taking kickboxing classes at Bars Boxing that is in Staten Island, New York for about 6 months now, he loves it! Akmal (I hope I spelled his name correctly) is a wonderful instructor. He motivates the kids while building their self-esteem. The greatest part is that my son learns so much not just in terms of fighting but in real life. He learns about focus, motivation, competition, team work, and the list goes on. The classes are intense and everyone can expect to be beaten and torn down but again everyone can always expect to be one day better. The team pushes you to your limit because they expect the best from you. I am truly happy that Jordan train with them.

I love kickboxing myself so and my two sons 11 and 13!! This school in Staten Island, NY by far has the BEST class/program. Never is it boring and never it is getting old. The coach and the owner of Bars Boxing School, Twice World Champion Akmal Zakirov has always changing it up and challenging the members every class!! I can see that my boys become stronger and more motivated. I highly recommend Bars Boxing for your kids!! Everyone there has got a great workout and the Coach is very good with children, professional and courteous.

Excellent coaching by Akmal, who is a 2 time kick boxing world champion and a multi national Uzbek champ (9 time adult and who knows how many junior champ) Great guy, really passionate about his sport. Akmal knows excellent soviet based technique of striking! Now the ussr is taking over with Klitchkos reign, GGG, Kovalevs... The nice thing i found about the Staten Island location that it is not as busy as the brooklyn location (25-30 guys) and there is a lot more individual attention from Akmal! Excellent coach

I learned of the Staten Island boxing program at Bars Boxing from a guy at work. I was already training at another gym but I decided to stop in and visit because it is run by the well-respected Master Zakirov. I was impressed by some of the fighters that train there and by the school. They have all the equipment needed to become a master of kickboxing. I am now training there myself and have made a lot of progress because of excellent coaching.

Amazing facility, affordable prices, and a coach Akmal Zakirov that brings the best in technique, motivation, and atmosphere. Bars Boxing – kickboxing school in Staten Island is truly a family of like minded people who motivate each other. The kids class is high quality; my students compete against them at tournaments and always have tough matches. Check out the gym, you wont be disappointed.

I was told of a Staten Island kickboxing school called Bars Boxing went there to see for myself. When I saw what a professional facility it was and saw the credentials of the Master Akmaljan Zakirov I had to join. I have gained a great deal from the experience. It is the best thing I have ever done for myself. I even lost 20 pounds and am in the best shape of my life.

My friends thought I was wrong to enroll my 10 year old son in the kickboxing program at Bars Boxing here on Staten Island I want my son to go through school never feeling the humiliation of being bullied or picked on. The coach is a two time world champion and is very dedicated to teaching the art and how to use it for defensively.

I have been working on my Muay Thai for six months and it has transformed me into a confident, strong fighter. I used to be afraid to go out at night. Now I fear no one. I owe it all to Bars Boxing. It the best place for kick boxing and Muay Thai on Staten Island or anywhere in New York

I train in kickboxing at Bars Boxing which is operated by Master Zakirov, the repeat world champion. He is the owner and coach of Bars Boxing who I have learned from. With his training I feel there is no limit to my potential as a fighter.
