    Covid hit, throughout this pandemic my family had lost four people including my father. On top of…read moreall that I struggled with self image issues and anger/ insecurity issues, coach kosta truly believed I needed to be there. Overall I must say the first day was the last time I'd attend a normal gym primarily. I take the adult Muay Thai classes and I'll say right now, all those years of hurt, sadness, and anger were all gone with the first punch, and it makes you want to come back again and again! The whole coaching staff is absolutely amazing as well as the fighters they have. Everyone wants you to be a better you!! I love coming here and look forward to someday competing with/for them. All in all, this place saved me. And I'll forever be grateful for coach Kosta, Scott & Ibere

    I highly recommend Team Link Muay Thai for a multitude of reasons. The professionalism and…read moreexpertise from the humble coach's will have you walking out the door confident. Your children will KNOW how to defend themselves. Not only does Muay Thai teach you respect, it instills discipline and comradery. Ibere provides knowledge from the teachings of Thailand, enforcing proper form along the way. I haven't felt this feeling since I stopped dancing. No matter what kind of day you have, come to class and leave it on the floor. Thank you to Ibere and the rest of the coaches/ teammates at Team link. Try out Muay Thai 101 on weeknights Monday-Thurs at 7:30 ( 13 yr old & up ) Wai Kru, Muay Thai!

    First of all .....Sifu Gary is "the man". He has spent the last 20 years building and developing…read morehis talent and reputation in the business and martial arts community. He is a genuine person and excellent teacher. Sifu Gary teaches Thai chi and chi gong at local senior centers around Worcester county in addition to running his school. By the way, did I say he was "the man", if you don't believe me stop by the Millbury, Sutton or Holden senior centers,the people LOVE him. In April he hosts world Thai Chi day, which is an incredible event. Stop by the school, bring your son, daughter, better half or grandmother. The floor is usually filled with all types, shapes, sizes and off course personalities LOL .

    I wish everybody could attend this school. When I joined, I had been thinking about learning…read moremartial arts for a long time, and finally got the guts to set up a free trial class here. That was almost three years ago. I still remember walking in the door and seeing the big smiles on everybody's faces -- that wasn't what I was used to seeing on Main Street in Worcester. The atmosphere is fun and we laugh a lot, which is amazing considering how intense the training can be. The community is super welcoming and everybody helps everybody -- that includes the black sashes, who go out of their way to draw you in and help you succeed. Sifu Gary is a natural teacher, and meets everybody where they are at, while challenging them to become better. Basically the school is a huge part of my life now, and at 30 years old, I'm in the best shape of my life so far, and I feel more comfortable in my skin than I ever have. It's a wonderful place.

    I've been going to IMA for about 8 months on a weekly basis and love it. There are many reasons…read morewhy, but I'll point to the three most important ones: 1. BJJ can be a daunting and intimidating sport to do in the beginning. Luis and the team are completely disarming when it comes to the intimidating factor. I felt welcomed immediately by everyone. It is a friendly, family-oriented school. It's like being a part of a great community. 2. Luis is an awesome coach. He is always present during the technique periods of the class. He always gives quick and effective feedback that you can apply immediately. Luis and the coaches have infinite patience when it comes to completely understanding a move. They will keep working with you over and over until you get it - and not move on if you don't. 3. We always work very hard but have a great time. Jiu-jitsu is an intense sport that people can take very seriously, which I can understand. When we roll, we always have a great time. Every class I work hard, but always get a laugh in somewhere. Everyone always has a smile. That is hard to beat. Thank you to the IMA team for creating a great atmosphere!

    I came over from New Horizon Karate and am very impressed with the spectrum of martial arts taught…read morehere. We now have American Kempo Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and very impressive Judo. The future looks very bright for this school and I highly recommend it for anyone who wants to practice self-defense and get into better shape.
