There is always laughter and the sound of Happy students to follow when he is on the mat or in the street. There is no pretension. Pure enthusiasm and a sound approach are some defining characteristics that keep you coming back. We feel fortunate to call him our friend and fellow martial artist. My husband and younger sister (a high school student, at the time) had the benefit of training with him one-on-one. Their lesssons were tailor made to their skills and experience, which made for fun and memorable instruction. Simply put, prepare yourself for a Great Class! Whether you, a friend or your loved ones are interested (from an inexperienced young adult, as in my family) or a ) in starting a fun and mindful practice, you will leave feeling positively engaged and enthusiastic after your first try. You will be leave with a new set of skills to match your experience level. What will bring you back is the great delight Prashant takes in teaching you.

One word to describe Control Kickboxing and Prashant Paul is authentic. Prashant brings to his program the authenticity that is lacking in many programs. Not just in the NYC area, but in programs all over the United States. Control Kickboxing teaches its members real technique whether it be in boxing, kickboxing, or other forms of martial arts. The classes are structured in such a way that you get a great workout, but are learning real skills along the way. You can definitely track your progression from class to class. I have known Prashant for a few years now and can gladly stand behind the fact that he is authentic in his teaching and is also a great person to be around. He has an amazing teaching style and wants people to learn. He is concerned more about the person learning than anything else. I highly recommend Control Kickboxing for all levels from complete newbie to skilled professional. read more

I have learned a ton at Control Kickboxing, and have seen huge improvement in my technique and confidence in a short time.
