  • Katie Branham says:

    I took TKD at the same school for 4 years, then tried the SAMBO classes. I LOVED this class, it was fun, always new, very challenging, and I learned TONS even I only attended for a month and a half. The classes were for ages 18+, and I even have other women to roll with! Learning from Mr. Carlos actually inspired me to find a SAMBO school near my own house. This is definitely a MUST TRY class.

  • Jon Sankey says:

    Coach Carlos is amazing! The cardio in this class is world class to say the least. I only had the pleasure of training at this gym for 2 months and I cant wait to go back! I honestly quit because I felt as if I were holding everyone else back. I have been running since January 1st training hard give this gym another shot. . . Do not enter this gym without being in decent shape. Take it seriously.
