A month ago, I decided I needed to get my confidence back and joined Spyda Muay Thai on a trial…read moremembership. I'm not going to lie and say that it's been easy. My journey the past 9.5 months has definitely been difficult. I wasn't supposed to live, but I defied the odds and survived sudden cardiac arrest on June 25th (only 8% do), had an S-ICD implanted in my side on July 1st, had open heart mitral valve surgery on September 15th, a blood clot/TIA/mini stroke on September 22nd, and a cardioversion on November 11th. Throughout, I was as active as my recovery would allow, which isn't saying much. In January, I started working out like I did pre everything, trying hard to get back to my pre-everything fitness level. When I heard they had opened a Muay Thai gym in Garwood, I went to check out a session and ended up participating. I have absolutely no training in Muay Thai, but rather traditional boxing so I was definitely intimidated. What I learned is that the people in this gym are awesome humans who really care about everyone's success, no matter what that looks like individually. I decided to do this because boxing always gave me such confidence and concentration and I knew I needed both again. After having my world flipped over, things haven't been great. It's been a long road that seems never ending but this is helping. It's really hard for me. But I am doing it and I am really proud of myself. The first class, I was hit with the realization that my brain is not the same as it was pre SCA. Truth is, I knew this, but I tried so hard to pretend it wasn't my reality. I have trouble remembering what I knew so well and am forced to relearn everything each session, sometimes multiple times during the hour as my brain loves to reset itself. We're talking true basics like how to jumprope (I fight with the rope each session as my brain doesn't talk to my wrists doesn't talk to my feet), stances, the difference between a jab, cross and hook (for whatever reason, I remember the uppercut)-- never mind remembering combinations that were just called and thoroughly explained a couple of minutes prior. It's actually been easier for me to learn the kicks because I don't get frustrated with them but rather try to understand the why of each one. I'd highly recommend Spyda Muay Thai to anyone, no matter what your fitness level or experience. "Spyda" is a tremendous teacher and such an amazing person. Everyone is absolutely incredible at this gym. Please don't think you can't. I am living proof that you can do it and there will be a bunch of people there who will cheer you on and motivate you to keep going. Believe me, I know that it can be completely intimidating, but once you step foot into the gym, those fears will disappear.

I fought traffic for 45 minutes to an hour to get there and it was worth every minute.

The atmosphere is warm and friendly and students are treated like family.

You have your choice of martial arts and boxing classes. My primary reason for joining was weight loss and being more physically active, rest assured it did not disappoint. If it's not a grappling, it's a striking session throwing punches. Over time, other benefits have emerged, at the front, a means for stress relief. It's become so much more than just an academy to train, it's a place for relief. The lessons on the mat, have made it to other parts of life, staying calm while under 260lbs, just relax and breathe. You remember that when in stressful situations elsewhere. You won't be disappointed, come train with champions!

But Hanshi Duncan's approach changed everything. His focus on personal fitness, while staying true to traditional martial arts forms and philosophy, helped me get past the hesitation I had about getting back in shape and improving my self-defense skills. I've been training here for over a year now, and the progress is real. I was even able to keep up with students who are the same age as my own children, which was a confidence boost. My wife came to watch me test for my belt recently, and afterwards she admitted she hadn't realized how much I'd learned. She was surprised to see me performing the exercises and drills with confidence. It's a great environment for adults, but if you have kids, this is the place you should send them. Watching the younger students train makes me wish I had signed my own children up when they were younger--though they're both adults now. Duncan Martial Arts is truly a great place to start or continue your martial arts journey. Whether your goal is better fitness, practical self-defense, or both, this school gives you the tools and support to succeed--no matter your age.
