Boxing can be scary as a woman as you're not always accepted. But Animal Kingdom breaks the mold. I had 0 boxing experience and bare minimum fitness experience when I joined, but I was still taken seriously, have been pushed to do my best with no judgment, and accepted into the gym community without question. The highlight for me is how comfortable I feel at this gym as a woman. I have been given the space to learn and grow, and I 100% see improvement. Coach Daniel and Coach Andrew really care about their fighters and students and are great instructors who know their stuff. Highly recommend this gym to anyone!

Found Animal Kingdom Boxing on social media, had great reviews so we decided to sign up our son. He loves it! He's a beginner and Daniel has done great with him. 100% would recommend!

I found Daniel online when searching for boxing classes. Daniel has exceeded all of my expectations. Having no boxing experience, I was nervous about trying the sport. However, Daniel is an incredible teacher and has increased both my knowledge and love of boxing. As a result, I’ve grown as a boxer and gotten in substantially better shape. It has motivated me to train more outside of our sessions. If you are even considering boxing or want to get in better shape, hire Daniel.

Daniel is a wonderful coach, always making sure you're safe while you're boxing with him. I came in not knowing anything about boxing and I'm really enjoying seeing the progress I've made since then. He really pushes you to limits he knows you can achieve, even if you don't think you can. He's always supportive and gives you advice when you want it. I'd definitely recommend taking lessons with him :)

Great place to go if you have no experience. I came wanting to learn the fundamentals of boxing and get a work out in at the same time. Love the gym and the atmosphere. Coach Daniel is great and consistent with scheduling. He always has a smile on his face and wanting to teach you more.

Daniel is a great coach, he trained me for my first and only fight I’ve had and I wouldn’t want anyone else in my corner. He gets to know his athletes on a personal level to best coach them. He’s honestly just a great person and I would recommend him to anyone who wants to compete, or get in shape.

I absolutely loved the time I spent working with Daniel. I took his boxing classes when he taught at the Summit in Lawrence. Despite always having full classes, he gave every person individual attention. I highly recommend Daniel whether you are a beginner or a professional! I wish I still lived in Kansas so I could train with him again!

If you are looking for high quality, professional, and intense boxing training, Daniel Barajas is your guy! I come from a karate/kickboxing background and when I met Daniel, my boxing skills were terrible as I mostly relied on my kicks to get me through a fight. Daniel not only cleaned up the technique of all of my punches, footwork and head movement, but made me feel more comfortable with creating or throwing combos either while drilling mitts or when we got a group together to spar. I highly recommend training with Daniel and the rest of Animal Kingdom Boxing if you're looking for a great workout or to step up your fighting skills!

Daniel is an excellent coach, whether you have experience in boxing or martial arts or are just starting out, I can guarantee he can help you improve your skill set. In just a few sessions he had me moving better and making vast improvements on my game. Even if you’re not looking to compete, his classes are a great way to build confidence and get in shape.

Daniel trained me for a boxing match. He was very specific about what he recognized in me as a fighter. He did not try to mold me into something I was not, but used my natural abilities to train me to be the type of fighter that fit my skills. This paid huge dividends as he led me to a champions belt. His willingness to teach and his attention to detail are excellent. He is friendly in his style but a killer in the ring. If you want a dedicated professional he’s your man. 🥊
