Regardless if you're new to boxing or have experience, this is the place to properly learn, get in shape, and have fun at any age. Coach Harold has helped me a ton. The skills you'll learn will improve your health & fitness, situational awareness, and self defense in life. Like Coach says, it's better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it. If you are on the fence about giving it a try, just do it! Highly recommended, safe & fun, with an awesome bunch of people - 100% great experience, from A-Z.

Myself and a couple of friends went last week to a class and we had a great time! The instructor was VERY patient and helpful. He was highly knowledgeable and we learned so much in only an hour. It is actual boxing techniques and instruction not a ‘kickboxing cardio class’ but we definitely worked hard and had a great time.

Great first time experience with my grandbabies. The instructor/coach was very attentive to them. They both said that they enjoyed it and can't wait to start going on a regular basis. I myself also enjoyed the experience they had. Looking forward to a great experience. 😊
