My daughter and I have been a part of Fuse Martial Arts & Fitness (Maineville location) for about 3…read moremonths now. Recently having relocated from Texas, it was important for my wife and I to find a martial arts studio where we felt good about the environment and teaching style that our daughter Isabela (7 yrs old) would be training under. We cannot be happier that we decided to give Fuse Martial Arts a try. From the first day she completed her trial class, we knew it was the place for us when my daughter said "I belong here!" This will be my daughters third martial arts studio and she absolutely loves it! Coach Dave is great with his students, and I appreciate his coaching style and his commitment to the development of everyone who walks through that door. My experience at Fuse Martial Arts & Fitness has been GREAT! What I can share about my personal health journey, is that when I started at Fuse I simply had one goal; to begin a path to a healthier me so that I can be there for my family. I have been doing the Muay Thai classes and they really provide me with the full body workout that I haven't had in a long time. When I started 3 months ago, I weighed just under 340 lbs. I have now lost 34+ lbs and continue to feel better and more capable as each week passes. Coach Dave has a great balance of pushing me with the intensity that I need while making sure I have a healthy approach to continuing my fitness journey and not get discouraged. One additional benefit of the Muay Thai training I can share is that not only does it help me get in shape, it has also instilled a sense of confidence that I was unaware of until I found myself in a unique situation at work. A couple of weeks ago, I had an employee become very disgruntled with me at work (this is employee was 6'2" and about 320 lbs. I'm 5'11"). I still don't how the situation escalated as quickly as it did, but by the time I knew it, this employee was cussing me out and suddenly in my face. I share this situation, because I can say, that throughout this event, I felt incredibly calm, was able to maintain control of the situation. As I reflected about this event, I was surprised that I naturally found myself position my feet in my Muay Thai stance and then pulled back to a safe distance when dealing with this employee. It was a reminder for me, that not only does Muay Thai for me serve for fitness, but it also serves as a means to help defend myself. Had it not been for the time I had training under Coach Dave, I honestly do not know how I would have reacted or dealt with this situation. I am now a healthier and more confident person as I continue on my journey. Knowing that at the end of the day Fuse Martial Arts & Fitness is playing such as crucial role in helping to keep my family safe, improve confidence and discipline of both my daughter and I, and help to improve our overall health, I cannot be more satisfied. If you are looking for a great place to help you in your fitness or self-defense journey, while surrounding yourself with a great group of people, Fuse Martial Arts & Fitness is the place for you. Thank you Coach Dave!

He is very patient with his students and makes sure that students learn and progress at the right pace. He pays close attention to each and every student, and knows the developmental needs for each. When we moved to Cincinnati I specially sought out Master Kim so that I could enroll my 5yr old even though it meant driving 30 mins to get to class. He is that good!

I have been practicing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu for almost ten years now and have been part of great schools and also some bad ones. This is an awesome one... The owner Jason Laine is probably one of the nicest guys you will ever meet and will make you at home along with the staff and other students. The gym and its members may look a bit intimidating at first but do not let that scare you. The whole team is very hospitable and welcome newcomers of all sorts, athletic or not. The gym has everything you would need from a boxing ring, cage, Olympic weights and a large grappling area. I have been part of 3 gyms as a member in other cities and locally plus dropping in on countless others when I am travelling and I have to say Vision is my favorite. You cannot beat the staff or team. Just do not get scared away after the first week and really give it a go.

How many organizations have you attended you felt, from the first time you entered, you would be…read morethere for the long run? If you have watched any martial art style movies, do the adversaries suffer the most? You are welcome to number all the various punches by name. An instructor explained to me; "A punch, is a punch, is a punch, no mater what name you give it." This person was and is Dan Insonto. His daughter was being pushed around in a baby carriage, at the time. She probably 33 years old by now. I would tell anyone I feel Aikido is passive/aggressive. You all understand inertia. A body in motion, shall remain in motion, until acted upon by an outside source. Aikido, to me, isn't aggressive until that object (a person) begins to strike. Aikido uses the forward momentum of your aggressor as an advantage, keeping the aggressor in motion, as a directed advantage, like crashing a plane. Should an aggressor come soft, that person will be stopped softer. However, coming full strength will result in the aggressor saying; "Father forgive me, for I have sinned in my thoughts, my words, and what I failed to do." The body of this organization is made up of professional people, from various well groomed industries. Saying this is to explain anyone willing to learn, will have the very best group of trained professionals found anywhere. If you are 8 yrs old, you will be taught. If you're of an "old school," willing to learn, you will be taught, not judged. However, No One begins, without being stretched out in more places than flees on a hunting dog! Do your homework. Come with an open mind, observe, speak with everyone having positive open mind the way the young mighty mights show up, with respect. Give your best and you will get the best!
