I read a review on another fellow traveler that had a good time here, so I decided to call and Instructor Foster answered and was extremely cool on the phone and welcomed my visit! I got there and was surprised at the size of the place! There were a lot of students and they have a healthy amount of colored belts! It wasn't hard to make friends and drills were great! Lots of places teach moves, but Instr. Foster pushed the concept. First roll was with Instructor Foster, and I don't know about you, but I love rolling with black belts! It's amazing how advanced they are! Rolling with new schools are great because you get to feel their techniques. Very strong guards here in both offense and defense. Lots of pressure and technique! These guys are legit! I was invited to visit the next day too, and I would've totally gone, but my hotel didn't have a laundry room, and I didn't have time to drop my gi off at a cleaner. I'm definitely reaching out next chance I get!

I highly recommend Barner's Blue Dragons to any family looking for a positive and welcoming place for their child to learn and grow!

Muay Thai Champion in Bangla, Thailand as well as S1 Championship in Phuket Thailand. Master Saohin holds a combined Boxing and Muay Thai record of 88 fights with 70 wins, 47 knockouts, and 18 losses. Master Souhin has also fought for the WBA World Championship two times, WBO World Championship one time, and challenged many title holders of WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, WBF IBO, OPBF and fought Lumopine and Rajadomnern Champions in Thailand. Not all fighters make great coaches, but Master Saohin excels at both. He's taught in Thailand at Tiger Muay Thai, but also he taught Muay Thai and Muay Boran. His Muay Thai style is strongly influenced by his boxing, which I love. He's also a Muay Boran instructor. He just traveled back to Luktupfah Muay Thai and Muay Boran academy in Bangkok to renew his certifications. Anytime I train with him, I learn new things. He brings a different perspective to the sport and movement that is priceless. Besides being a really great instructor/teacher, he's also one of the kindest people I know. His heart does nothing but grow for Muay Thai. In his teaching and everything else, his love for the sport shines through in all of his actions.

The owner and lead instructor is Erik Dallberg, an expert all three of the major MMA spots (Wrestling, Muy Thai Kickboxing, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.) Even though Erik's background is in BJJ, he was successful in his first year as a community college wrestler. Erik is a great instructor who walks you through steps as you need them and gives plenty of individualized attention as long as he's not already helping someone else.

And let me tell you, Eric Dahlberg is as good as it gets in terms of coaching. I gave a couple of other martial art places a trial before settling with Ring Demon. Eric doesn't just teach you boxing, kickboxing, wrestling, or jiu-jitsu, he teaches you a way to think about martial arts in general---relying on technique, energy, and leverage instead of strength to defeat your opponents. He is also ALWAYS willing to help out and ask any questions---no private lessons required. I was intimidated at first because the only martial arts experience I had prior to going enrolling in Ring Demon was a few weeks of trial classes and a year of karate way back in high school. But the school's approach to helping new students learn and integrate made me get past my comfort zone and eventually be comfortable enough to learn and spar. Summary: Great coach, great training partners, great environment to learn.

I used to be an instructor & fighter myself but had to stop due to military injuries and wish more instructors were as friendly as Keith is; the problem is a lot of karate instructors have huge egos and encourage their students to worship them. The other problem is most karate in the USA is "kroddy" that won't work in a real fight. Now that Keith is associated with Tom Callahan and a great network of other dojo around the world I can't wait to see how his Dojo & students grow! Osu!
