They have a fight team if you want to go hard but monitor sessions to ensure partner practice and sparring is at the right level. I overheard one of the owners pull someone aside and explain friendly but firmly to bring it down or they'll be asked to leave the gym. Outside of training and management that speaks volumes. I train privates w/ Mike C. I'm older and my horizon is short. He's a great coach who puts attention into my technique and progress. That seems comsistent at Juniper.

Most of what I learned in the class, I had to unlearn over the $2000 trip to Thailand -- the mother gym, Sidyodtong, offers the same trip for half the price. All I know about my missing thousand dollars is that it didn't go into nutrition, recovery, mobility, or exercise science training for the instructors. It's a con. Steer clear.
