Both of my sons have attended Conan's for boxing and training. They both reported how meaningful it was and how respectful and thoughtful Conan and the other instructors were with them. My observations have shown that Conan is a man of his word and honorable, and dedicated to what he does. I recommend his gym without reservation.
Wife and I go here together to do cardio-kickboxing class. We've been going twice a week for about 3 - 4 months. At first we could barely make it through a class. It's still tough but we're both in much better shape. Classes are similar enough to let you learn through repetition while being different enough to never be boring! At 45, I need to modify some of the stuff that I just can't do and that is never a problem. Conan always has an alternative for anything that might give you trouble with your knees, back, hips, etc.
I have nothing but good things to say about Conan’s academy I’ve learned how to defend myself, I’ve gotten stronger, more confident, and healthier. The people at Conan’s academy are also amazing so many people there are very kind and willing to help especially to new people.
Been going to Conans for 20 years. There is not a better instructor in the state, a world class champion. There are classes for everyone regardless of your age, experience level, and what you want to get out of it. He also has charity events for underprivileged children. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to do mixed martial arts.
Considered taking my kids here. Haven't yet pulled the trigger, but of all the schools in town I went to, Conant seemed the most real. Here's the deal, you can wear uniforms and talk a good game, and call yourself Grandmaster (like another pathetic school I went to), but at the end of the day if you've never been hit and your students never get hit, then they're building a false sense of security that won't help them when they really need it. I don't want my kids hurt, but they need to experience real training to truly understand what a fight is, or can be, rather than simply a PE class with fancy uniforms and belts. This is why kids in Thailand and Mexico who learn to box can demolish kids who take things like TKD and KM. Conan understands this, and how that can translate to safety on the street. I'm not looking for a place to babysit my kids. I have years of experience, and I am only interested in ensuring they get training that will produce actual skills they can use to defend themselves. If I decide to move forward, Conan will probably get my business because he is an actual coach, not more concerned with branded Kimonos and nonsense. Also, because he took the time to ask questions and discuss training philosophy with me. He was nice, straight to the point, and didn't try to BS me like other owners did. That goes a long way in demonstrating integrity and actual humility. A lesson some of the other school owners could learn from this guy. THAT would probably be a real VICTORY.
