The class is free for women to attend and only $10 for men who's like to attend. This gym offers all different kinds of classes for boxing, aikido, Muay Thai, and tai chi. The professors/senseis team up The first or second Saturday of the month to teach a self-defense class for women. The class is usually from 1 PM to 3 PM and consist of maneuvers and strikes. They are very informative and very patient when teaching. They don't mind going over the techniques over and over again until you are sure you get it right. You definitely feel like you were in a safe space with people who truly care about you, trying to teach you. They check in with the students to make sure that nobody is uncomfortable especially for those who have suffered an attack before. I can't say enough good things about this particular class. The only reason I have not signed up for one of their aikido classes is because the schedule doesn't work for me. You can follow them on Facebook to learn about their lady safe events, give it a shot and that will help you determine if you would like to continue coming to this gym for other classes.

I started Muay Thai a couple of months ago and the training is impeccable. Learning from the ground up I have learned so much in two months. As much as I have always wanted to learn martial arts, I have always had a love for weight lifting and this place is perfect for that as well with a free weight room and many powerlifting amenities!! The best of both worlds, a great place to sweat, work hard on yourself, and learn about the arts. This place feels super intimate and you start feeling welcomed and comfortable after a few weeks. It's like a 2nd home for me :)

It's not often I find someone who has the same passion for martial arts that I do; Coach Kakavitsas is an incredibly knowledgeable instructor who has years of real world experience in competition and practical self-defense techniques. My boys love training with him, and going to class is the highlight of their week. It's amazing how much they're already learned. I highly recommend anyone interested in learning self-defense, building confidence and getting physically fit go see him and his colleagues.

He took his time with her and had her gloved up in the ring within a matter of minutes after we did our paperwork. He demonstrated and walked her through the different hits/punches, kicks, elbows and knee strikes. She had the most amazing time and cant wait to get started in classes with the other kids. She had the biggest smile on her face after she was done, and was so excited. I really appreciated JT showing her the confidence and new passion for muay thai! Hes a very knowledgeable man, personable, and incredible instructor/coach! We will be bringing our other daughter next Saturday for her one-on-one and very much anticipate a similar experience! Such an incredible experience from start to finish!
