I knew he was on the business end of a tight choke. “Ahh—you mean it sucks to be on the receiving end!” I said. His voice, with 100% certainty, and enthusiastically exclaimed, “Absolutely.” I knew what he meant! I’ve been on the receiving end numerous times myself.

    11. How do I know if a martial arts school is right for me? Coach Mindset-What I tell people that are looking for a great place to train Is if the coaches are more of a guide or a cult leader where everything has to be done their way.

Kickboxing Couples = Happier Couples!! 

My husband and I train hard at the gym 5-6 times per week. On our “Off Day,” we love getting our cardio and brainwork on with Joe’s Kickboxing. 

As a Mom, I feel confident I can protect our children if needed. And as a Woman, I’m not an easy target. I like knowing that I’m doing my best to protect myself and my family by taking these Kickboxing classes.
