My daughter wanted to learn boxing... so I'm like...Okaaaaay…read more Boxing sounded a bit intimidating but I'll give it a try. Average Joe's was awesome. They make everyone feel welcome. Doesn't matter how old you are or what shape your in. It's about working out and having fun doing it. The place is kinda small but thats ok. The owners are extremely nice. In fact, everyone I met at Average Joe's was super nice. They give you a free class to try it out... and yes, my daughter had a blast. The owners took the time to teach my daughter how to box safely. First the foot work, then hands and then the arms. Each class is an hour. After boxing, they offered wrestling. My daughter wanted to try that too. She ended up liking the boxing practice a little better. So yeah, we will be back.

I had the opportunity to train under Master Sifu Matthew Banks and his array of instructors and it…read morewas one of the greatest privileges of my life. I first joined this sacred temple in attempts to learn more about myself. Learn and grow I did. The instructors I trained under were kick ass. Like rip your head off make it look easy. The one who honed my basic skills was Laoshi Harrison. To have such an instructor was an honor. In my time training I would learn forms and principles that I could take to my day to day life. Principles like: breath work, root, striking, flexibility, blocking, & holds. Mind you I am not looking for a fight. But, SHOCK AND LOCK. Am I right? As a student I felt respected. As a student I felt appreciated. As a student I felt nurtured. That is what allowed me to grow. That is what made me keep coming back. This element of care I promise you won't find anywhere else. And it is the exact element of healing that is in the name and is what makes this house of martial arts special. This temple was a place where I could improve. Where I could fall on my face and not be laughed at. If my form wasn't right or I did something wrong. I wasn't reprimanded. I was guided in the right direction. My 6 months training at Sacred Mountain has given me something that is rare to find - Confidence and Security. Sure you can buy a gun and kill someone trying to defend yourself. And maybe end up in jail..... Or..... You can be the talk of the town because you handled a situation by hitting someone with an inward fan kick. The choice is yours! I seriously was blessed to train here, do yourself a favor and become a student of Sifu Banks, you won't regret it!
