I would take Saturday morning classes every now and then, with the owner, who is absolutely amazing and so kind. I was talking about this place tonight with my mother, and she brought up the fact that the instructors had so much respect for me because I had done something that no one had done in decades, and she remembered the last person to do it to be Master Pietro, which I don't know if he still works there or not. I had a great time here, meeting new friends and doing something active. The only thing keeping me from a 5 star review was how some of the parents were talked to by some staff members. No one should be judged for their parenting, unless it is harmful behavior. Other than those situations, I had a great time when I was little. I hope kids and their parents are able to have an enjoyable experience today. Thank you so much for the memories! -Former Student

I was able to attend Coach Danny's competition class where we completed a wide variety of drills and different types of sparring to help with tournament prep.

I highly recommend Danny Savery BJJ to anyone looking to start their jiu jitsu journey or to any folks traveling in the area!

I love this place! I wanted to wait at least two months to write this review to give an accurate an…read moreunbiased opinion of this academy that wasn't written from the point of someone new and still in the honeymoon phase. I'm 45 years old and not in the greatest shape in the world and this really worried me due to knowing how physical BJJ is. I started my first class full of trepidation and worry. I was immediately greeted by the senior members of the academy like an old friend and I can't say how much everyone was very nice to me and welcomed me with open arms. They helped me with tying my belt and how to properly wear my Gi. Upon entering the mat area Danny Savery himself and all of the other coaches welcomed me to my first class and immediately made me feel at ease. I had heard from other people that this academy is more like a family and they were absolutely right! I can't say enough of how awesome this academy is and how much I look forward to going to class. So if you're looking for a great BJJ academy this is the place. It doesn't matter how old or out of shape you are, you will be able to complete the classes and make a lot of new friends you will consider family! I can't say enough of how much I love this place and if I can do it so can you!

Additionally, even before the black belt level, there were seminars presented by experts in different skills and styles.

I held a dangerous job for many years and I was able to successfully defend myself several times using skills I developed at LCMA.

I've been going to Box Around for about a month now and my only regret is that I didn't start…read moresooner. I had some preconceived notions of what a boxing gym would be and I couldn't have been more wrong. All of the people training at Box Around are great people. Bud Lakin, is a great trainer and an even better person. I came in totally green and after a month I can move around in the ring pretty decently and hit the bag the proper way. The boxing training is great for someone like me that doesn't like to just run. I get a great cardio workout every time I go and I've already lost about 6 pounds of flab. I really can't stress enough how good the atmosphere of this gym is. There's no swearing and yelling, just a bunch of people training that are very supportive of each other. My kids are a little young to bring in the gym, but once they're a little older I will bring both as soon as I can. The price is more than reasonable especially considering the attention you get from Bud. If you have always been curious about picking up boxing even if it's only for fitness and confidence, Box Around is an awesome place to go. A quick side note, I called about 3 to 4 gyms trying to get some info up front and Bud was the only person to call me back. I'm very happy that he did, I wouldn't want to train anywhere else. Here is the link to their site, the posted one doesn't work at the moment. http://boxaroundboxingclub.com

I will preface this review with why we decided on boxing for a 5 year old - My 5 year old son who…read moreis very small for his age was being picked on by some older children, and once I saw this with my own eyes I decided it was time to teach him how to stand up for himself and give him some confidence that would allow him to grow into the person he is meant to be. (not beaten out of him by bullies) My son after 5 weeks- He knows the proper stance, how to properly throw a punch, hit the heavy bag, balance shadow boxing on a tire, and even hit the gloves in the ring. Bud Lakin is firm but kind, quickly gaining my sons respect. He has given my son a new level of confidence. My son is able to handle the corrections Bud makes to his stance or rhythm because he knows Bud is helping him and knows it comes from a good place. The lessons are reasonably priced and really the best money my husband & I have ever spent (we both agree). We are doing twice a week on Tuesday and Thursdays and each time the lesson is over my son is amazed how fast the hour and a half went and eager to stay longer. The gym has other children around 10-14yrs old in at the same time, and they are kind and encouraging to my son and polite and respectful to myself. There are also usual a couple of other men and women training who are also friendly and make us feel welcome. Last week Bud had my son work in the ring with a grown man...the man was on his knees so he was eye level with my son and allowed my son to practice his boxing skills on him, bobbing and weaving to make it a real challenge for my son teaching him how to move like a boxer . It was a real highlight for my son. Also, with the children, there is NO contact, meaning my son does not ever get hit. These lessons really build his confidence and keep him safe. My husband plans on taking lessons once he gets a few days off from work. Bud is teaching my son lessons that will stick with him forever. These are life skills in this tough society we now live in. I highly recommend this gym for anyone interested in learning the art of boxing, I enjoy watching Bud Lakin work with my son and the others training. It is like watching a master teacher. You can see he does it for the love of boxing, not the money.
