Introduction: We all know what martial arts are but what is corrective exercise? Corrective exercise is retraining your body to move correctly according to nature but also to bring proper posture back and build stength/use muscles in the most efficient way possible - with Functional Patterns (check out their IG) it relates to standing straighter, walking better, running, and throwing correctly (being a extension of the gait cycle). What you will gain with me which you will not gain from any other practioner is the understanding of the following. The way our arm works with our leg to drive contralateral reciprocation - The way our pecs work with our obliques - and the way our glutes work with our hip flexors. Together the body works as a reciprocral system that will improve all forms of athletics missing moments of essential or refined recirprocation! We will use light weights, pulley cables, and moments like throwing something, running, or even picking something up and standing will be improved upon! I guarantee you after day 1 you will feel different, and approach all forms of movement slightly differently and more efficiently 10/20/23 - Officially Human Biomechanics level 1 Certified through Functional Patterns. 11/16/21 Update - Officially Certified In Human Foundations through Functional Patterns. I have found this has helped me address mobility issues very practically! as well as it gets you moving as efficiently as possible using the walking gait as the foundation- it transfers to explosive power and eccentric movements that create a feeling of being pain-free due to the lack of body disfunction and getting stuck on the concentric motion (restriction essentially). You will also gain improved stability, muscular development, and postural correction. the key to explosive and healthy movement is proper flexion and extension of the body, so a big part of what separates me from everyone else is my approach to body mechanics. let's improve yours! as far as actual martial arts training goes I am very qualified as well if you read below I am a high level martial artist in about 4 or 5 different styles. If you need myofacial release please ask and I can show you some stuff you can do on your own with a foam roller or lacrosse ball! All of my sessions are customized for you!

My first visit with my boxing instructor was truly outstanding. From the warm welcome to the patient personalized instruction, it was a memorable experience. I felt both challenged and encouraged as I learn the basics of boxing all while prioritizing safety. I am eagerly looking forward to my next session and continuing my boss and journey under the guidance of this exceptional instructor.

Lawrence is easy to communicate with and very knowledgeable. He took the time to explain the mechanics behind the movement which helped me better grasp proper technique.

Great overall experience! I came in with zero experience and in just the first session I felt accomplished and eager to continue. Communication, energy, and expertise are top notch. I highly recommend.
