ADULT MARTIAL ARTS Classes in Burlington
ITF Taekwondo for all adults · Ladies Kickboxing · Beginner friendly · No experience needed · Ages 13+
For Burlington Adults — Ages 13+
You Don't Need to Get in Shape Before You Start.
Maybe you've thought about martial arts for years. Maybe your doctor said to move more. Maybe you just watched your kids training and thought
— I want that. Whatever brought you here, there's one thing we hear from almost every adult who walks through our door for the first time:
"I wish I'd started sooner."
At NextGen, teens train alongside adults in their 60s. Some are athletes. Most aren't. Some are fit. Many aren't. None of that matters on day one — because everyone starts at white belt and progresses at their own pace.
"Traditional martial arts doesn't replace the gym. It prepares you for it."
Two Ways to Train
Choose Your Program
Open to All Adults — Ages 13+
ITF Tae Kwon Do
Traditional ITF Taekwondo — the same art taught to our kids and teens, with the same belt progression from white to black.
Open to all adults, from your 20s through your 60s and beyond.
No experience needed. No baseline fitness required. You start where you are and build from there. Our adult students consistently tell us they have more energy, better focus, and improved posture within weeks of starting.
What Happens in Every Class
Warm up and strength & agility exercises
Partner sparring technique practice with protective equipment
Punching and kicking technique on bags
Small groups for forms and self-defence steps
LADIES ONLY
LADIES KICKBOXING
A ladies-only program that combines the best aspects of traditional martial arts, kickboxing, boxing, and fitness. Designed for the woman who wants to learn real skills, build confidence, and get fit in a comfortable, non-intimidating environment.
No prior martial arts experience needed. Classes have a strong fitness and conditioning component — you'll get in shape while you learn. Our members progress through a curriculum that develops skills at every level.
This is not a cardio kickboxing class. You'll learn real techniques, develop real skills, and build the kind of confidence that carries into every area of your life.
Over 10 Years Serving Burlington Adults
Why Adults Choose NextGen
Since 2015, we've been the trusted choice for Burlington adults who want more than a gym membership. Here's what makes us different:
-
10+ years in Burlington— we know this community and we're invested in it long-term
-
Same instructors every class— Master Paul and Kosta, not rotating staff
-
Single location focus— all our energy goes into one Burlington school, not three locations
-
Adults train at every age— teens through 60s+ in the same classes, learning from each other
-
No experience needed— the majority of our adult students started with zero martial arts background
Real Outcomes for Real Adults
What Burlington Adults Experience
01
Physical
Undoing eight hours of desk posture in every class
Every class includes active movement, stretching, and technique work that directly counters the effects of sitting. Students begin barely able to kick knee-high. Within months, kicking at chest level. Strength and flexibility follow naturally.
02
Mental
The only hour of the week where your brain actually quiets down
Memorizing 20–40 movement sequences in precise order requires complete mental presence. Work stress, family pressure, and mental noise don't follow you onto the training floor. Students consistently report better sleep and lower stress within weeks
03
Confidence
Confidence doesn't stay in the martial arts school — it carries into everyday life
Our 50+ students aren't training to compete or fight. They're training to feel strong, capable, and confident in their bodies so they can keep doing the things they love. The belt system provides proof that consistent effort creates results.

What Our Students Are Saying
nextgen community
"Master Paul and Kosta are amazing teachers. Peyton and Cooper have learned discipline, goal-setting, determination and good work ethic, all in a fun environment. You could not put your children in better care!"
Brad
nextgen community
"We signed our girls up (9 & 11) and they love the friendships, the daily Taekwon Do lessons, and the leadership. I feel confident knowing they're picked up every day and going to a place where they're truly cared for. The atmosphere is positive. The mentorship aligns with our values: respect, consistency and commitment."
Kelly
nextgen community
"Our boys have been here since they opened. The after school program picks up from school with homework time before instruction. Master Paul and Kosta strive for each child to reach their potential. Our children have made valuable friendships and life skills."
