What Are Southsiders Saying…

 

“I took an intro class and MMA Striking because I wanted a new personal challenge in something that was completely new to me. During the classes, I felt challenged, supported, and completely exhausted. It met all my expectations plus more. The coaching was quality; Ben creates an atmosphere where you want to be your absolute best, and hold nothing back. I would highly encourage anyone to take this course. You don’t need to be a fighter to enjoy what Ben brings to the table.”

— MMA Striking Member

“I would honestly recommend this class to everyone. I think every single person no matter in what stage of life you are in can benefit from taking a striking class. I got a great workout in, but I also felt more empowered and capable than I felt before. This fight class is more than just physical, it is SO mental. There is more thinking in it than you would imagine - it kept me on my toes and I am a better person because of it.”
