This review is for the BJJ kids program. I took my little nephew out to try out a class. He's a shy and timid little fella, and was super hesitant to go. But with a little bribery I got him to attend a class. The instructor Leo was real cool and very welcoming. I spoke to him on the side and told him the situation, and he said it was not a problem and that he has taught kids for a quite some time now. By the end of the class my nephew looked like he had made a friend in the class and came out super excited. He is now going once a week, and enjoys it a lot. I even looked up the instructor

My son has done private sessions off and on with Coach Leo for a few years. Leo is a great instructor with patience and attention to detail

I've been training in martial arts for years and I've navigated through different gyms. By far, this gym has been the most enjoyable and effective for my training due to the friendly atmosphere and the coach's knowledge of the sport. He is also great as a kid's coach for anyone interested in signing up their children. Shout out to Coach David for putting his passion and technical experience in a family oriented gym.

Coach David is motivating and has a genuine love for the Art of Muay Thai. In the span of a few weeks, my physical health has highly improved. At age 50, I'm having a blast trying to keep up with the young adults in their 20's and 30's. The experience is life changing for me!
