Sad that tonight was my last night to train at the "U"... Staff and ownership are very welcoming and present a friendly, if not family type of environment. Coaches are all top notch and will have you improving every class! The other people in the class are great too, friendly and helpful, working together to get better. Only reason I am leaving is I do not live in the area and my work project is coming to an end. If I ever head back this way I will DEFINITELY be dropping in again!!! 1, 2, 3...U!!!

Fantastic experience with my first class. Very friendly instructors and very open to teaching beginners. It certainly is a workout, so be prepared for that, especially with the boxing class. Planning on going back as soon as I can make time for another class.

This place is a dream come true. I just moved to the area and have trained at gyms all over Asia and the U.S., and this is one of the best I've ever experienced. From the second I walked in the door I felt welcomed like family. The vibe here is incredible. I feel both challenged to push beyond my comfort zones, and always safe that I will be given all the tools to get there. The coaches are serious, focused, incredible, and classes have mixed levels which at first I thought would intimidate me but actually makes everything better because you learn watching the advanced people and everyone is so focused on improving themselves and supporting each other that you never feel out of place whether it's your first day or your thousandth. That is not an easy balance to strike! And definitely is a testament to the values and spirit of the founder and leader of the gym. Plus there's a friendly dog who sometimes shows up to give you side-eye if you're not jumping rope fast enough. I can't say enough good things about this gym! It's incredible.

Great people. OP shouts out your name as you walk through the door with a huge smile on his face. TK is extremely friendly and encouraging. All of the coaches are friendly yet focused and very skilled. They'll push you far past what you thought your limitations were as long as you are consistent and they've given me sound advice every time I've sought it out. I love coming here to train. They've cultivated very positive motivating energy in this gym.

Compared with Taekwondo, Karate focuses on defense and actual combat, while Muay Thai focuses on flying knees, elbows, kicks, etc., and the amount of exercise is stronger. If it is not for MMA, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Japanese Judo, Grappling, and Knife are more practical.
