The training sesh was the perfect introductory class to hook anyone. We got right down & dirty really did some work. To surprise my husband, I simply called Aaron, and we set up a time to meet early in the am before his regularly scheduled classes. It was simple. I highly recommend a private before jumping right in. It gave us an overview of the craft & what life is life on any given day at the gym. The gym is rather large but kind of hidden in a back street. It's insanely clean (Aaron was actually cleaning as we walked in), and you, of course, just leave your shoes in the entrance areas, never on the mats. Aaron is super sweet, patient, & thorough. He answered all of my zillions of questions & taught us all about Muay Thai's history, the difference between that and MMA, & about his yearly pilgrimages to Thailand, which look insane!! It was great to be able to pick his brain as we learned. Aaron didn't take it easy on us, we certainly got right to it. I never once felt intimidated or unable. He's super respectful, & we left feeling pretty knowledgeable about the craft, & certainly like badasses. We definitely want to take more classes together! I love that this is something we can do as a couple!! Aaron told us people of all levels, even children, train. He has weekly & drop-ins. They're all pretty reasonably priced. I grew up watching Pay Per View fighting with my dad late at night. He always wanted me to be a kickboxer because of my solid dancer legs. I felt like I was living out some long-lost dream here with Aaron & it was truly excellent!! It's definitely a confidence builder and certainly makes you want to learn even more for next time. Fighting is my favorite sport & hubs & I watch it regularly. It was nice to not just talk about but be about it!! Boom!! We recently finished watching 'Kingdom,' an insane incredible show about MMA, so this goes hand in hand. I highly suggest, if you're watching & intrigued, taking a class with Aaron OR if you're taking lessons with Aaron to watch! It really makes you want to train & learn the actual technicalities of fighting. Aaron is super educated & just deconstructed what exactly went wrong during the big McGregor fight on his Insta. I suggest a follow if you're into fighting. He often (especially during quarantine posts at home spars)! We couldn't have loved or recommend this experience more for any lover of fighting. Honestly, it was perfect. Perfect lesson, perfect space, perfect teacher, perfect gift. Oh, and I love that old school vintage fights are shown on the TV in the background on repeat the entire time. It really gets you in the mood!! Such a super incredible time & gym!
