The hustle and bustle of life pulled me away though. 10 years later, I decided to focus back on my physical health and began working on getting in shape... eventually this led me back to Grapplers Lair. I am so thankful for this gym. This gym brings top notch instruction and a great family atmosphere for any and all who visit. My kids have started taking classes too and they LOVE it! The instruction is top notch, the people are very friendly, and needless to say, it's been great for getting in shape. Highly, highly, highly recommend Grapplers Lair for anyone interested in getting into martial arts for themselves or for their kids. It's really a great place to train.

We started working with Coach Arron and Professor Phil about 6 weeks ago and the experience has…read morebeen amazing. I have a 12-year-old daughter who was not very interested in the general sports so I suggested that perhaps she would like martial arts and the first two weeks she wanted to quit, but I told her to wait and give it more time and about the fourth week into it she was absolutely in love with the sport. We just completed our first NAGA tournament with the guidance of Professor Phil, and she loved it. Both Aaron and Phil Are natural teachers when it comes to working with children. They push the children physically, encourage them to give their best, and they don't hand out participation awards. You earn what you get! I highly recommend that if you're looking for a school with dedicated instructors and a dedicated team that you check the school out.

I signed Thing One up for a membership for his 15th birthday last month. I did this because like…read moremost schools during this time, students are not permitted to change out into athletic apparel during their physical education class because of the pandemic. This lack of changing clothing is also directly correlated to the lack of physical fitness in these classes. On the first visit on his birthday weekend, one of the instructors took her time to approach me and ask if the music was to loud for my son. I was both shocked and grateful. She asked as she reviewed my son's paperwork when I signed him up which indicated that my son has Asperger syndrome. A significant number of people with Asperger's Syndrome have been perceived to display either an over-sensitivity or an under-sensitivity to sensory stimuli. In my son's case, although he is a musician who plays multiple instruments, loud sounds are troublesome for him. Aside from this, the instructor also checked in on him to make sure that he was using proper technique. Aside from the service provided here, the gym is clean and is operated like a Cheers "where everybody knows your name". I am pleased thus far with the instructors, price point and the convenient class hours.

Personally I hate to work out, can't think of anything worse. But when I learned about Krav Maga…read moreand realized that I could have fun getting fit while learning how to kick people's butts, it was a match make in Heaven. I love Krav Maga because I learned real techniques that could be used in dicey situations. For instance, you spend a lot of time practicing how to get out of a variety of choke holds. I had an instance when I was working as a nurse in the ER where I was choked by a psychotic patient. I learned how to get out of a choke hold non-violently and also how to get out of it and really tear into someone if the situation was different:) Harry Shaw has to be one the nicest people I have ever met. He is really good at encouraging you to go further than you ever thought you could. If you are wondering what Krav maga is, here is a description off of their website: SELF DEFENSE Krav Maga is the official hand - to - hand combat system of the Israeli Defense Forces. It is also the preferred system for the U.S. Military and Law Enforcement personnel. Krav Maga is not a traditional marital art: *No Katas *No Rituals *No Nonsense Based on simple principles an instinctive movements, this reality-based system is designed to teach real self defense in the shortest possible time. Learn to defend against common chokes, grabs, and bearhugs, as well as weapons such as guns, knives, and sticks. Just as important, we teach people to function during the stress and shock of a sudden, violent encounter. Tested on the battle field and in the streets, Krav Maga's approach to self defense will make you safer and more secure.

Luke was our personal trainer for 6 months before he moved to Temple (from Houston). Prior to…read moreworking with Luke, neither my fiancée nor I worked out regularly. His approach was to build up our strength and movements gradually to make sure our bodies could adjust. He was very cautious about not causing injury and took the time to explain the background and science behind muscle movements, strength training, importance of stretching and other components. Our workout schedule was 3 times a week and we both noticed marked improvements in our strength and muscle tone. We initially started with light weights, but improved to the point where we were using 20/25lbs weights with no problem on certain exercises. In addition to the improvements and progression we noticed in our training, we absolutely loved working with Luke. He is very genuine and truly cares about helping his clients. He was a bright spot in our lives three times a week.

Luke created friendly, motivating, and fun sessions that helped us reach our fitness goals for our kids. One of our desires was to empower the kids to own their own strength and wellness. We also wanted them to get into the habit of finding active things to do, even when it's not aerial day, or a great outdoors day. Luke has a warm personality while also being strong and inspiring. He knows his craft well and follows high morals. Luke also happens to be a family man and served in the navy, which speaks to his standards.
