Don't you dare bug him.... Shortly after starting at this POS "gym", I was informed that I was a no good if I wasn't ready to compete in 1 month, then ignored when I needed instruction for BJJ. It's meatheads and bully's in 10th planet RO. Their "Muay Thai" is freestyle fighting and nothing more- "Michigan Kickboxing academy". Uhhh I don't even know where to begin.

Richard was immediately welcoming, kind, and positive. He made my son feel accepted immediately, and did a great job of creating a connection.

The instructions are clear and fun for the kids, each class closes out with a circle talk with strong positive messages and reenforcement.

At the time I weighed about 225 lbs, and had started my fitness program at home and lost about 10 lbs in 6 months, now I'm less interested in the outward belt promotion, my primary concern is not just getting the black belt which takes much longer then I realized, but to instead live a healthy lifestyle and to continuously improve in every aspect of my life. My relationships are healthier, i have a batch of like minded friends, and I'm happier in every aspect of my life. I presently weight 190 lbs, I've taken more then 15% body fat off, I can run, I weight train, supplemental yoga, I train kettle bells and am stronger now then ever before in my life despite being an accomplished athlete in high-school. My confidence has improved, I've grown in humility, I am less stressed, and I have something to look forward to 4 nights a week and I attend 4-5 practices a week. There is no way to fully express how grateful i am for the oppurtunity to train in this environment, and how much happier I am as a person. I am confident that the Gracie Barra Burton is not only the best organization in this region but also the state, and I promise that for committed individuals wishing to pursue a healthier lifestyle, and to learn the art of Jiu Jitsu will be pleased!
