I tried Chonburi Muay Thai and that was nearly five years ago; I have been with Bruce since! Bruce is from Thailand, raised amongst the true Muay Thai culture and he remains loyal to those roots. Class is fun, challenging, and supportive. Students are proficient at varying levels and this helps all of us to both learn and teach, simultaneously. Additionally, this fosters a cohesion with the students and the atmosphere is more familial in feel. As a female, I have always found Muay Thai to be empowering and my skills have been much improved since training with Bruce. This has fostered a confidence that is priceless. I really urge you to try out Chonburi. The first class is free so there is absolutely nothing to lose!

They've taken to the physical fitness, the teaching, striving for excellence and learning the concept of discipline. All of the instructors invest their knowledge and time to enriching every child that shows up and puts in their best effort. It is very much a family environment. Signing up for kids activities is easy. Watching your kids love one is uncommon. That happens at Franklin Family Taekwondo every week.

They are so great with the kids. They teach respect, discipline, courtesy, perseverance and self control. I watch them build kids up not just physically but emotionally. They are like a built in family. We also loved that they have an option of after school care which is a much better option than after care where not much energy is burned off. If you are looking to put your kids in a great place after school, extra curricular activity or even try their monthly kids night out, you will not be disappointed.

I always thought that training BJJ would be intimidating or impossible to start. I'm happy to report that I was wrong! The instructors/teammates at Legion create an awesome learning environment. Professor Sean is an excellent instructor and a world champion. I think one of the best things is that they have something to offer for every different type of attendee. I joined to test myself and to get in shape. There are others who aspire to be at the highest levels of competition. There are others who are aspiring/ or current professional MMA fighters. There are people of all backgrounds and skill levels. The cool thing is that we all end up working together and learning from each other. Being in the presence of dedicated BJJ and MMA professionals is very inspiring. The discipline required for learning BJJ is something I've been able to apply to my personal and professional life. If you're reading this review and you are curious about signing up, there's nothing stopping you! If I can do it (haven't done any serious athletics since high school and now I'm over 30) you can too!
