Clinch Culture is a family-run gym that specializes in muay thai training. This gym is located in a plaza on Nashdene Road. I used to frequent this area during the pandemic when Lonzo's was open for food orders. I met Vanessa and her adorable godson. She collaborated with Grit Nutrition Hub to create a women-only wellness event this past Sunday. Vanessa, like me, used to get healthy shakes and teas from ZeeV's Nutrition Studio, which has rebranded as Grit Nutrition Hub. There were two other vendors there. I got to try a Greek yogurt granola parfait from Aleta, who is a personal chef. It was fantastic! I could taste cinnamon in it, which was the best flavour kick that I didn't expect! There were also protein balls by Lil Fit. Orietta is behind the business, and is a personal trainer and nutrition coach. It was weird seeing a utility vehicle parked in the middle of the lot, with cars parked perpendicular from it. I couldn't drive any further into the lot. I parked further away by backing into a spot. I then walked over. Not the best parking job by this person. It was rather selfish parking where this utility vehicle shouldn't have been. It was so inconsiderate of this person to block those who may want to leave the parking lot, too. I walked in and was greeted by various members of this family-owned gym. It was nice. Although many folks had taken their shoes off, I asked Vanessa if I had to take off my sandals. She was okay with my leaving them on. Zenia from Grit Nutrition spotted me immediately and came over. She led me to her husband, Vamshi, who was working the healthy tea and donut stand with her. I got a strawberry watermelon tea. It was refreshing and the perfect flavour combination, especially when it's warm outside. I looked at the muay thai ring. It looked big and a bit intimidating! The philosophy of this business is to fill the gym with coaches, experienced martial artists, and athletes to build community and culture. It was cool seeing parents and kids enjoying themselves when I was here at around 1 pm. This gym offers adult and kid classes, and private and semi-private training for all levels of muay thai experience. It was nice having a women-focused wellness event, as muay thai is still a male-dominated sport. The gym isn't huge, but it's a decent size to get a good workout. (247)

You know Jackie Chan in Karate Kid - how he is the tough but kind instructor who was amazing at his…read morecraft but also cared about his student? That's what I was first reminded of when I first signed up my son here. Master Kang and his instructors motivated the kids and cared about making them better. Shortly thereafter, my older son (who initially swore he had no interest in martial arts because they make you do push ups and doing the same thing over and over again was hard and annoying) asked to join his brother for classes. Being heavier set and having quit multiple other martial arts training before, we didn't expect him to last more than a month but we proceeded. In a couple of months, not only was he still taking classes with his brother but he is even more engaged to do so. His kick height has doubled where it was before, his confidence has increased, he's more respectful and he's pushing himself harder and I credit the instructors and Masters for this. Seeing both my kids' improvements, my husband and I decided to sign up and learn with our children and unlike what we initially feared, we feel quite at home and Master Kang gave us the opportunity to take part in something important to our kids which became important to us too. We now all challenge and encourage each other to do better and I can't say any other martial arts gym have ever had our entire family as engaged as Master Kang's! Try it for yourself!!

I felt his lack of discipline for his own club was unprofessional: I have studying this style for many of years (in my young age) and would never disrespect the class, sensei or other students.. Parents would show up late for class and have their kids get undress right in front in the foyer - yes the club is small .. but there is a start time to class. It almost felt like a daycare drop off for the parents in the area.. and sensei wouldn't say anything to the parents.. (back in my day our sensei 1. Would have made us do 25 laps around the dojo & 2. Would tell parents "class start at this time don't interrupt the class again or don't come to class" - abit harsh but I was late once had to do laps in front of everyone and was never late again..) I mean for every kid that is late and interrupting the class 4-5 times how is that fair on those kids who arrive on time and ready to start. Also for the adult class I felt his club is great for older adults who need easy going classes. As for price point it seems very reasonable for what he is offering..
