6-Week Kickboxing & Fitness Challenge in Santa Barbara, CA
Santa Barbara Dojo · 25 Years Strong · Completely Reinvented
Six weeks to feel powerful again.
A transformational cardio kickboxing & strength experience designed for anyone ready for their next chapter — led by the founders of Santa Barbara Dojo.
This is for you
You've taken care of everyone else.
Now it's your turn.
You don't need another punishing workout. You don't need "beast mode" or someone screaming at you to push harder. You've been pushing your whole life — and it's taken its toll.
What you need is something that makes you feel alive again. Something that gives you back your energy, your confidence, your momentum.
We Completely Redesigned KUT
After twenty-five years, we asked ourselves one question: how do we make this even better for the people we serve now? The answer became The KUT Method, our most refined, intentional, and transformational program ever.

Reserve Your Spot
Secure your place for just $47 — fully applied toward any program or class pack you choose. If you come in and decide it's not for you, we'll refund it on the spot. You have absolutely nothing to lose.
Attend Your Orientation
We sit down together — just us and you — to learn about your goals, tour the facility, and make sure you're set up for success before day one. We start this as a team.
Start Your Transformation
Your 6-week journey begins. Train 3x a week, follow your personalized nutrition plan, track your progress and body metrics in the app, and celebrate real results at the finish line.
Your $47 goes toward your program — apply it to any class pack or program you choose at sign-up. Come in, see for yourself, and if it's not the right fit, we'll refund it in person. No strings attached.
Your fresh start is waiting
