SPAR Self Defense

I signed up for the Women's Self Defense classes with my daughter and we loved it so much we are doing a second session. Jen and Robin are amazing. I highly recommend this class!

I've been a member for around 9 months this past year and it has been a wonderful experience. You don't even have to think about staying in shape if you go a couple times a week, they work you hard and you learn valuable life skills. Sean's Muay Thai class is where I find myself almost 3-4 times a week. You have to admire Sean's work ethic as his classes run 6 days a week and he really switches things up each time to always keep you striking, blocking and grappling (as well as mini Muay Thai history lessons from time to time). To top it off we end each class with a great ab workout. SPAR is so welcoming by every instructor and student.

I've been a member for a few months now and easy to say that from the top down (management/coaches/fellow students) everyone is welcoming and helpful. No need to be nervous as all are in good spirits here. …

Spar offers numerous different classes in different martial arts. All the coaches and professors are patient and personable. Sean’s Muay Thai program is amazing and will improve your striking exponentially. Nick’s Krav program will have you …

The new location is amazing! Still just as clean as the last location and still has amazing instruction. Professor Eduardo has amazing knowledge and is a great teacher! He is the most decorated competitor anywhere near Buffalo. All of the …

I joined Spar last month as a way to force myself into feeling better after a year long battle with lung issues caused by COVID.I sat with the owner Bill after speaking to his daughter about joining. I wanted to make sure that this was a wise decision for someone like me, who was not in the greatest of shape. He and I sat for a good while going over the classes and he made me feel like I was more than welcome.I signed up to every class they have and although I struggled to keep the schedule ( due to my lungs and heart rebelling ) they assured me that I didn’t have to hit the ground running, and that I could ease into it. The instructors are friendly and work with people of all different ages, backgrounds and fitness levels. They don’t make you feel pressured or make fun of you if you can’t catch up with the class right away.I don’t know why I thought they would do this lol But they didn’t :) When I go on a hiatus due to my health they text and check up on me to make sure I’m okay and see if I need anything. I feel like family here. This place is something out of the ordinary.You will NEVER receive the level of care or support that the staff gives each and every student here at any other gym. If you’re on the fence about signing up, don’t be. Please don’t hesitate to take control of your health and safety by joining Spar self-defense.Cleanliness? It is impeccably clean in this place. They sanitize everything before and after every class. The bathrooms are sparkling, the locker rooms are vividly designed and very clean and everyone is eager to help keep it that way!Practical self-defense? Yes! Everything you learn, you get to demonstrate right away. Not only can you “spar” with a partner that will actively test your skills, but they have actual sets that are designed to look like everyday places that you’d visit when danger strikes. Like a bar, ATM machine, car… they even do field drills.For women? Yes! For everyone! There are classes for people of all ages and abilities. Coach Jenn will make sure you’ve got what it takes to confidently defend yourself against an intruder of any size when the time calls for it. Believe me you’ll be more than confident by the end of her class or really, at the end of any of the classes given here.Don’t have an outfit for class? They sell everything you need to get started in the store located right at the entrance!Worried about parking? There are plenty of spaces at this facility! They are located in the “baddass” complex, next to the Warrior factory and behind Jada Blitz, so plenty of parking here!Class schedules? They have multiple times for classes throughout the morning, afternoon and evening, so every schedule can be accommodated.I don’t want to give too much away here, I’d rather your excitement build up and you come on in for yourself!See you there!

I absolutely love Spar, I've been to other gyms and this is by far the best. The facilities are very clean, the staff knows who you are, the classes are small so you really get the attention you need, and the gym has a great atmosphere. It …

I'm in the women's self defense class and it's great. The instructors are good and the atmosphere is very welcoming. I was nervous walking in because I thought it was going to be a big boys club but it's definitely welcoming of all people. …

I enjoyed my time here at SPAR and i highly recommend it for anyone that wants to learn how to defend themselves on the street. I don't believe there's a better place in Buffalo for that than right here at SPAR. The coaches are all …

SPAR!!!!!!!! This school is amazing. No experience required to join. The instructors are both personable and knowledgeable. They transition those with no experience and those with years of experience into some of the most talented and …
