Im a scrawny person who spends most of my time sitting at a desk so I was a little nervous coming in for selfdefenselessons, but Andrew is a very understanding and knowledgeable instructor and he made me feel comfortable throughout our session. I was able to train at my own pace, and was given helpful advice for my situation, beginning with diet and how to get in enough calories. Really reminds me that everyone starts somewhere and its nothing to be ashamed of.In general, super chill and supportive guy with decades of experience ! Looking forward to next time.

As someone new to boxing/self-defense, I was a little intimidated to start, but Andrew made the experience so welcoming and motivating! He focus on proper technique, conditioning, and mindset, making sure I feel comfortable yet challenged every session. His passion for training is contagious, and he push me to be my best while ensuring I progress at my own pace. If youre looking for an excellent trainer who genuinely cares about your growth, look no further!
