Certified coaches, holding competitive experience in Thailand and the United States, provide individualized corrections on stance, guard, and strike mechanics. Partner work and light sparring are introduced only after mastery of fundamentals and explicit instructor approval.
The training environment is disciplined and supportive. Members include corporate executives managing stress, competitive athletes preparing for bouts, and individuals pursuing measurable fitness gains.
A complimentary introductory session is available; hand wraps and gloves are provided. Reserve your place to begin a systematic program designed for lasting physical capability, mental focus, and practical self-defense proficiency.
