Harold (the owner and main coach) was my first boxing coach, a few years back when he was fighting and coaching out of a different gym. We worked together for maybe 12-18 months before his own path as a fighter took him down to Peru. During our time together, he brought me a great distance in my knowledge and appreciation of the sport. I came to him with probably a zero or even negative skill level, but serious enough to want to learn, and Harold met me exactly where I was. We worked a ton on the fundamentals; I remember Harold saying once that people used to call him "Mr. Fundamentals," and that's definitely true about his approach to training. It's one reason I'd recommend him as a coach, because a lot of people/gyms will teach skills/movements that aren't as practical or are too advanced for people without a really strong base in the fundamentals -- essentially teaching cool moves for their entertainment value vs. their usefulness in competition or an actual fight. But when someone makes you work on the fundamentals, as Harold does, it's really a way of taking you seriously; it's preparing you for what you actually need as an athlete. Harold's great at calibrating a workout for someone's conditioning level, as well; it's not like he'll have you doing wind sprints right out of the gate, and if anything I probably should have learned the value of roadwork on my own way sooner. And so I'd say the most important aspect of Harold as a coach, besides just being fun as hell to train with and knowledgable about all aspects of MMA, was his patience. For me, training with him was having the space and the freedom to screw up over and over until I got something right (which in my experience since then, at least, is what good training actually is). Proud to have followed his progress as a fighter and coach, proud to have been hit in the face by this guy, and proud to have hit him a few times, too. Go train up there with Harold and learn some things! You'll love it.

    This institution is a very special place, and it's approach to welcoming everyone and forming a…read moresense of community, besides ALL of the incredibly diverse techniques, workshops, special events, and supportive encouragement make it stand out. Its remarkable children's curriculum has brought our daughter through over a decade of wonderful training, and helped to provide so many different positives on various aspects of her development as a human being, at an age when she needs self-confidence, and turning that to both empathy and helping others learn has it just top shelf in my wife's and my opinion. Do yourself a favor and give it a shot, regardless of your age, or your experience, or your physical training/or lack thereof, like myself. I started and joined in with my daughter in my mid-50's a little over a year ago, and I've found so many things to make me glad I did, and didn't just dismiss my age as a given for decline. I'm boxing, as well as doing other martial arts training and loving every minute of it. See ya there! Jason S.

    Yes my daughter had been attending this place for probably over 2 years and I had been asked if I…read morewanted to join so I said what the heck. I came in on a Sunday which is open mat where the owner is not there. I then made the choice to "roll someone who may or may not be on the payroll but is teaching students nonetheless. I had gotten myself into a kimora and this "coach" as they call him did not stop when told to stop or when I tapped on him and said stop which is how martial arts works. 2 seconds later the exact same thing happened only on the other arm and as I say tap and I'm tapping on this guy all he does is twist harder. I confront the owner later when he comes back in and have a long talk. He says that I should have a talk with this person and work it out with him. Needless to say I'm left with two damaged elbows and myself wondering why I'm supposed to confront this guy who clearly has a whole lot of disrespect at least for me on his mind. I don't think it would be right for me to have a conversation with a person who clearly doesn't want to have conversation only wants to twist arms until damage is done. If I was doing something wrong I certainly wasn't being told such. Never would have go beyond that which is a tap or a verbal tap as this guy did. Great place until I had to put myself into the mix. My daughter was learning how to grapple which is all that I wanted. This guy told me how he was the met enforcer for the owner and the owner denied it. Also told me how he used to break people's arms and legs when he was in the martial arts academy that used to be a few doors down. I guess I should have listened to him and never put myself with him. I enjoyed the experience until I got with him. The agenda he had is the agenda he had I can't speak for him. Because my elbows aren't healing I would give zero Stars. I've been forced to give a star.
