This MMA gym is really good and has produced lots of champions!…read moreMarlous Coenen is a former world champion and is fighting at Bellator next month and is an example for lots of women. Her partner and my trainer Roemer Trompert is a 3 degree Black Belt Tae Kwondo and a MMA veteran who fought all over the world. There are trainings 6 days a week and the atmosphere is very good! So let's meet on the mat!!!

This is a great gym if you want to learn MMA. There are 18 lessons per week (three per day, six…read moredays a week) and you can take all of them if you become a member (and if you have an insane amount of stamina). But also if you are thinking of trying boxing, kickboxing, grappling or just would like to do stamina enhancing exercises, this could be the place for you. The atmosphere is relatively relaxed and friendly (no staredowns in the locker room or going all out against people that are obviously new to the sport). But it is still a contact sport so do bear in mind that you will have to take a punch, kick or arm bar at times (don't worry, you are wearing an armor worth of protection to ensure you don't get injured, it just hurts a little bit). You can do competition in MMA and grappling or just train for fun, it's up to you. Euhm yeah, what else is there to say? It's an extremely addictive, complex and (for me at least) fun martial art. You can get trial lesson for 10 euros I think. So if you live in Amsterdam and you think you could get into this martial art, I'd say give it a try!

I've know this gym for quite sometimes(like since early mid 90's or so). It is very renowned gym…read morewhere lots of legendary fighters fought out of. Rob Kaman, Peter Aerts, Remy Bonjasky, etc. Traveling from Japan to neighboring countries, I just could not pass the opportunity to stop by. So, there I went. Unfortunately, I was only able to attend Friday morning session as it was closed for weekends. However, it was great experience to train under Master Andre Mannaart and his fighters. As it was morning class, it was rather small. Training was led by one of their fighters at first, then proceed to circuit training for a few hours. Also, I get to meet legendary kickboxer, Rob Kaman! I was completely star struck. Only one day visit, I didn't know expect such a bonus. It was such an honor to stop by and train there during my short visit in Amsterdam.

I came in today with a shoulder that had been killing me for days, and I honestly can't believe how…read moremuch better I feel. What blew me away was that I didn't even have to point out where it hurt. She started working and knew exactly where the tension was held without me saying a word. It was like she had a GPS for muscle knots! The technique was firm but intuitive--she found spots I didn't even realize were contributing to the pain. I walked out feeling ten pounds lighter and finally have my range of motion back. If you're looking for someone who truly understands body mechanics and doesn't just go through the motions, this is the place. Highly recommend for anyone dealing with chronic pain or stubborn knots!

Amazing massage from Poo, she was very nice and knowledgeable about massaging and body injury and…read morespend a lot of time on a leg i had injured before. She also could realize quickly if the pressure was too much. I arrived an hour earlier and the staff in front sort of panicked about it and asked me if i have pid online before however this option was not available and when I said i only have card from U.S. they said they don't accept that. Again this was not provided online either which given the touristy vibe this place has (foreign customers, english spoken and written communication) i found strange. What made my experience unpleasant however was 1- they would not tell me where exactly atm is and would just point at somewhere on a street one block over. Imagine having ti keep asking what's the name of the place several times while trying not to disturb the "relaxing" environment of the place. I left to the place she pointed at which was a restaurant and they had no idea what i'm talking about. Not to mention it was night (~8pm) and freezing cold. I had to leave my belongings inside the massage place because they were pretty heavy and while waiting in the crowded restaurant and bring in the way of employees and people i was worried about losing my personal items. At the end when i got back we made a deal : i had 40 euros and an hour massage was 50 euros. They offered to give me 40mins massage (which is unfair i was short €10, why not give massage for 50 minutes instead?) i think they saw how desperate i was after waiting and hustling around the streets for an atm and offered the lowest they could. And the end the most unpleasant experience was the male masseuse who while giving a massage would creepily peeked from the edge of the certain and check me out. I could tell he just was thinking i'm going to steal a product from them. Again Pooh massage and customer service was staler and if it was just her I would give her a 5, but the other employees were really off and made the experience extremely stressful for me. In response to the owner's message: they said we only accept local card : my card does have a chip but they did not even bother to check. The employee said there is an atm and did not tell me where exactly. This caused me a lot of trouble. I did not day anything about the closing time or complained about it. The fact that your respond mentions it and talks about it in length suggests you only responded to pretend you care about the customer feedback and not really care what the feedback is about hence I'm goi g to review this place with even a lower rate.
