    I wish I could leave this gym 5 bad reviews but I might have to settle with 3. I joined this gym…read morehoping to try it out for a month and see how I liked it. Unfortunately, I couldn't even attend for a month to try it out... I got beaten senseless by half of a class of 10-12 people during beginner class "light/technical" sparring. I hit everyone half speed in the head once (pulling all my punches besides maybe 1 or 2) and they flipped out like I had just slapped their mothers. After the sparring, I got ceremoniously bopped in the head by Coach Eddie the Magnificent. On my 5th day of class to boot... I basically paid $300+ just to get a concussion and have my SPINE damaged. Very disturbing experience... I did not enjoy these furious 'ommpa loompa's' and SIR PETTY EDDIE slapping me in the head while I was dazed and confused. #LeaveYourNapoleanComplexesHome #NoBueno #InPainaYearLater #TheDirtyDozen #CheaperbytheDozen #CheckingTeeps #RabbitPunchMadness #HadtoSupermanThatYouKnowWhat #GotPunchedintheBackoftheHeadsooooManyTimes

    I emailed Sitan Gym in advance because I was going to be in Norwalk for work. Some of my fellow…read moreYelpers know that I've been taking Muay Thai, and I didn't want to miss while I was away. I was excited to hear that there was a champion fighter only a mile from the hotel I was staying at so I asked if I could come in and try the class. They emailed me back fairly quickly saying that they'd love to have me, which made me happy to go. My instructor told me to sign up for a beginner class. When I got there we did some warmups, but no jump rope like I'm used to. I was definitely the oldest in class. According to the schedule, it was a beginner class, but it seemed more like a kids class to me. During the time I was there, we did technical sparring. I was happy to be paired with more advanced, older students (the one girl won her last fight), and then also some kids. I felt a little out of my element, and I def. got punched in the face by a teenage boy at least once lol. I had cut my eye earlier in the day so it was bloodshot and kept watering. Def. not a good look, and maybe I shouldn't have even taken class. Oh well. After class, I got asked for a payment of $30, which I would have liked to have known up front, but nonetheless, I think it's a reasonable price for sure. I would have appreciated having more instruction on skills and technique though. Coach Eddie was walking around making suggestions, but my more advanced partners were pretty quiet. I did learn a defense move and quick, follow up counter attack to kicks, but it was mostly sparring and not so much instruction at this particular session. I'd say this class is really intense. So if you are looking to fight, this would def. be the place for you. Also, take it seriously. I stayed after to watch the advanced class and I have to say it was pretty intimidating, and Coach Eddie doesn't accept anything less than your best. If you are in town temporarily, def. talk to the gym about trying a class, but maybe call and get more details first so you know what to expect.

When I moved to the Stamford area, I was looking for a school (not a gym) which was disciplined, had a knowledgeable instructor, taught Muay Thai or related styles, and had an ample schedule of classes to pick from, since my own schedule is somewhat haphazard. Tiger Schulmann's MMA in Stamford met and exceeded my expectations. Sensei Demitrius owns and runs a solid school. He is the only instructor there, which I'm happy about since his teaching is excellent. The school has an ample adult demographic along with kids, unlike some schools that mostly cater to kids, with only a few adults training. And the schedule is wide enough for me to train any day of the week. The style of martial arts taught here is an MMA blend proprietary to the Tiger Schulmann's franchise. It involves both kickboxing and grappling, though these are taught in separate classes, and you can choose one or both to focus on. Heavy emphasis on conditioning as you learn technique. Great both for getting/staying in shape as well as becoming a competent martial artist. To sum up: This is a top notch martial arts school. You should train here.
