Awesome guy, taught me a lot in just our first lesson. Fun to work with and a good coach. Recorded the whole session so I could look back on what we did and improve. Super flexible, able to reschedule which was awesome. Would 100% recommend to anybody interested in boxing/Muay Thai

I gained new confidence I didn’t think was possible to attain! Growing up, and as an adult, I've always been shy and timid, but after training with coach Dave, I was able to overcome that, and unleashed my inner warrior. We worked on my confidence and I gained new strength, physically and mentally, that I now apply to all areas of my life. Coach Dave is incredibly supportive, patient, and shows complex techniques in easy steps. The classes are a fantastic full-body workouts, and I love feeling empowered learning new confidence and self-defense skills. The support and inspiration I get training with coach Dave is amazing, it inspires me to push myself harder. I was looking for a challenging and rewarding workout, and with coach Dave I got not only a physical workout, but a mental and emotional journey that gave me rewarding lifelong skills of being stronger and more confident, both inside and out. I’m glad I stepped up to the challenge to empowering and improving my life.

Been training with Dave for seven years now. Within 3 months of training (Muay Thai only), I noticed a difference in my health and physique. After 6 months, I was in the best shape of my life (and that's 1-1.5 hours x2-3/week). Kru Dave is a no BS, technical coach. It's not for everyone, but if you want smart, practical training, don't need to be coddled and can handle tough love, then Dave is your guy.

I've been training with Dave and American Boxing for 7 years now. I've done all sorts of martial arts for most of my life, but nothing has been as effective in maintaining my health and physique as Boxing and Muay Thai with Dave. I noticed fat loss and muscle tone after just 3 months and in 6 months I was in the best shape of my life. Kru Dave is a no BS, technical coach. It's not for everyone, but if you want smart, practical training, don't need to be coddled and can handle tough love, then come and try a few sessions. It's good for all ages and experience levels.
