The kids classes are phenomenal!

Having the option for a private class in my backyard maximizes my time.

Rolling in a National Guard Armory with soldiers is awesome!

I've had experience with coach Alex, he's an excellent and highly intelligent coach. He was my coach from 2023-24 during that time he wrote a meal plan that helped me go from 188lbs to 162lbs for a tournament. Highly recommended.
