Brandon B. says, "I have been training since I was 24 years old. I am now, well, much older. Over that time, I have participated in: weightlifting, running, swimming, yoga, and boxing. Each time I’ve started a new discipline, I’ve always hired a trainer. Usually, I stopped seeing the trainer within 1-2 months and then continued on my own. Not this time and not with Coach Jay. His knowledge of boxing and enthusiasm, not only for the sport, but also teaching it is off the charts. I have been working with him for months and will continue to do so. Coach Jay is for everyone: first timers, amateurs and even pros. He is definitely for you, too. I can’t recommend him enough."See more

Chalisa P. says, "Just had my first lesson with Max and it was AMAZING. Don't be fooled by the low price, Max is a financial advisor who just happens to know how to disable anyone in 16s or less in about 1,000 different ways...without injuring them. Just some basic info: Your level: Whether or not you have experience with self defense, he can teach you something new. I've had 3 years of experience with Muay Thai, but he basically made me realize how ineffective sports are in comparison to real world fighting. If you have zero experience, these techniques can be done by anyone willing to learn the skill, so no worries. What to expect: This is definitely a self defense class -- not a workout class. You will get a mild workout depending on your fitness level, but these techniques are all about skills and smarts. Be ready to learn a LOT! Max himself: He's just a really nice guy who knows his stuff and wants to help people defend themselves! I highly recommend this class."See more

Clara L. says, "Tristan was a wonderful coach to our 5 year old. When we started 1:1 coaching we immediately saw his technique improve quickly. We knew right away that having our son work with Tristan was well worth the investment. Tristan was very patient, interactive and found ways to keep our son engaged. He also was able to tailor the training well to match our son’s learning style and areas he needed to improve on. For example he’d find simple ways for our son to gain the muscle memory to improve his kicks, punches, and blocks as well as his reaction time. All while keeping the sessions fun. You can tell he is genuinely focused and committed to coaching, and he knows from being a parent himself how to work well with small children. He has extensive experience in Muay Thai and MMA that he transfers to his coaching, but he is also an encouraging coach, extremely communicative professional, and standup person. We miss having him coach our little man."See more

Ruth S. says, "I was one of Sean’s first clients and I’m still a client over four months later. I’ve lost over 20 pounds working with Coach Sean, and he continues to push me physically and mentally! My Muay Thai technique has come a looong way—members of my gym’s professional fight team have commented on my progress and have even started to work with Coach Sean after seeing mine and others progress! He takes a genuine interest in all of his clients and each of our goals and continues to push the boundaries and make continued gains. He works with all levels from beginners to expert fighters—the devil is in the details and so is Sean! I can’t wait to see what the next year working with him will bring!"See more
