He emphasizes honor, discipline, and respect in every facet of his training program. He even starts off each class with the "pledge of allegiance," mission statement and Powerhouse Oath. He has a knack at getting the best out of kids. I highly encourage other parents to give his program a try. You will not be disappointed!

Nothing but high praise for this amazing coach. Super cool boxing academy with hard/ challenging…read morebut fun training workouts and an amazing coach. Coach Jones inspires and motivates fighters to push their limits daily and is very caring of his boxers. He maintains a positive and encouraging atmosphere while instilling a sense of discipline and responsibility in boxers. My kids love and respect him. Coach Jones prioritizes boxers safety and provides constructive feedback letting boxers know their strengths and weaknesses. He instills life skills... My family strongly recommends him. We are so so glad that we found him and our kids are able to be part of his academy.

Coach Jones coaches my son at the Y. He demands hard work and discipline, and takes no excuses. I…read morelove this about him! He pushes them beyond their comfort zones to work harder. He expects excellence at the gym and out of the gym - for example, one child had a bad behavior report from school and he was given a writing assignment by Coach Jones to hand in during next class (300 lines! A great learning lesson). He provides these kids life skills on how to be a responsible adult in life. For example, the boys had homework to go home and learn to tie a necktie. Another time, they had to all write a paragraph about why they love their parents and had to read it in front of the class because Coach Jones said public speaking is a very important skill for a leader. I love his style and commitment to building strong and capable adults. Highly recommend!

A few years ago a close friend said her son was going to test out a taekwondo class and asked if I…read morewould want to take my daughter to try it. She absolutely loved it and we joined (for a year) after that first class. She had previously been in dance for 3 years and it just wasn't her thing. She almost always wants to go to class and has made friends there. Mr G is AMAZING. He is patient as can be with the kids but doesn't let them walk over him and ensures they're respectful (not interrupting, focusing, polite to others, saying sir and mam.) He is soon testing for his 6th degree black belt. The kids love him. The cost isn't bad at all considering your children can go 5-6 days a week most weeks if you want them to. My daughter went 4-5 days a week for a while, we did zoom classes during Covid, and have been back in person for a while now. We moved from Southpark where we were 10 mins from class and now are 25-30 WITHOUT traffic and it's been a year since moving and I still can't imagine switching her. We usually only go 2 days a week now usually because of the drive, but my daughter practices a lot at home too. Initially, equipment needed is minimal; however, if they're going to stick with it, you should invest in the gear. She gets to test for her black belt in September!
