I have trained at Tri-State a few times when I was up in the area visting some friends. I like to get my training in and have to travel around a lot. They are about an hour away from me and affiliated with the gym I usually go to so they let me come in to train. I called ahead to ask. They didn't charge me and welcomed me with open arms as if I was one of their own. The instructors were knowledgeable, helpful and made sure I was getting everything good. He gave everyone individual attention and explained why we did some techniques this way or that way to help it make sense. This is helpful especially if you are having a hard time executing the technique (like me) in understanding what I was suppose to be doing. I highly recommend Tri-State. I only tried the grappling, but the other classes looked like they were being taught in the same way and all the students were getting a great workout (the kickboxing). I know I got a great workout training there. Its located in a shopping center so parking is easy too and you can go grocery shopping or shopping right after class too!

When we arrived at the door, we were warmly greeted by Guru Ed. My son instantly introduced himself and shook his hand. Yes, like most 5 year olds he is courteous, but he also has instinct, or what he calls his "strong senses" around people. I knew right away we were vibin'! Ed kindly welcomed us in and for my son to join in with the rest of class. The studio is a decent size, very clean and a nice breeze of air circulating. As I sat with the other parents, I watched how the kids were so focused and so into their drills/practices? His leadership not only demands respect, patience and practice- he gives it in return. Although we don't live near the area, my son said he can't wait to come back! We will be joining a studio close to home when we return. Many thanks to you!

My journey the past 9.5 months has definitely been difficult. I wasn't supposed to live, but I defied the odds and survived sudden cardiac arrest on June 25th (only 8% do), had an S-ICD implanted in my side on July 1st, had open heart mitral valve surgery on September 15th, a blood clot/TIA/mini stroke on September 22nd, and a cardioversion on November 11th. Throughout, I was as active as my recovery would allow, which isn't saying much. In January, I started working out like I did pre everything, trying hard to get back to my pre-everything fitness level. When I heard they had opened a Muay Thai gym in Garwood, I went to check out a session and ended up participating. I have absolutely no training in Muay Thai, but rather traditional boxing so I was definitely intimidated. What I learned is that the people in this gym are awesome humans who really care about everyone's success, no matter what that looks like individually. I decided to do this because boxing always gave me such confidence and concentration and I knew I needed both again. After having my world flipped over, things haven't been great. It's been a long road that seems never ending but this is helping. It's really hard for me. But I am doing it and I am really proud of myself. The first class, I was hit with the realization that my brain is not the same as it was pre SCA. Truth is, I knew this, but I tried so hard to pretend it wasn't my reality. I have trouble remembering what I knew so well and am forced to relearn everything each session, sometimes multiple times during the hour as my brain loves to reset itself. We're talking true basics like how to jumprope (I fight with the rope each session as my brain doesn't talk to my wrists doesn't talk to my feet), stances, the difference between a jab, cross and hook (for whatever reason, I remember the uppercut)-- never mind remembering combinations that were just called and thoroughly explained a couple of minutes prior. It's actually been easier for me to learn the kicks because I don't get frustrated with them but rather try to understand the why of each one. I'd highly recommend Spyda Muay Thai to anyone, no matter what your fitness level or experience. "Spyda" is a tremendous teacher and such an amazing person. Everyone is absolutely incredible at this gym. Please don't think you can't. I am living proof that you can do it and there will be a bunch of people there who will cheer you on and motivate you to keep going. Believe me, I know that it can be completely intimidating, but once you step foot into the gym, those fears will disappear.
