"Today was my third time attending one of Master Keith’s kickboxing classes, and it was awesome as always. Every class provides a different routine and pushes you above and beyond what you think you are capable of, which is encouraged by the master and fellow classmates. If you are thinking about signing up, DO IT! Do not hesitate, his classes help you physically and mentally (great stress reliever), and it is privately owned so you do not have to worry about hard selling. Sign up, don’t wait like I did to start your fitness journey, I really wish I would have signed up sooner."

He allows the older students to help instruct the younger students which gives the older kids a sense of leadership and role modeling which helps with their self-confidence as well as learning responsibility. Mr. Elkins is a wonderful mentor to the students and families and a great role model. We are very pleased with the establishment and consider them family!
