Important Notice before Contacting Us:

We appreciate your interest in learning martial arts and self-defense. Kindly note that reaching out to us professional coaches can be costly, and it is common for us to receive no replies. Therefore, please be mindful of this. Please note that our classes do not cover Jui Jitsu, rather we teach Muay Thai, Kickboxing, and Boxing, all of which focus on striking. Mastering the art of self-defense is a continuous process that requires extensive practice in various techniques, body strengthening, and applying these techniques during controlled partner drilling, technical sparring, and hard sparring, in order to be proficient and capable of protecting oneself.

Hello, I'm Coach Rich! I embarked on my fitness journey about thirteen years ago to achieve a healthier lifestyle and weight loss. Through high-intensity workouts and healthier eating habits, I successfully shed 85 pounds, which prompted me to help others achieve the same.

Initially, I started teaching fitness kickboxing, which led me to the world of Muay Thai. It has become a profound and passionate experience for me, one that has turned into an obsession. As a lifelong learner, I constantly strive to learn and develop as a student and coach.

Fun fact: I am certified in Hatha and Kundalini Yoga, as well as a musician and guitar instructor.

My objective is to inspire, motivate, and help you attain your fitness and martial arts goals.

Certified by USA Boxing.

Private sessions cost $80.

Coach Rich is an exceptional coach, driven by his passion for coaching and health. Prior to the class, he inquired about my objectives and customized the session to my level of expertise. As a novice in Muay Thai, I desired to learn the techniques and burn calories effectively. The idea of droning on the treadmill for hours does not captivate me as I try to shed some baby weight. During my first encounter with him, I broke out in sweat by the conclusion of the warm-up. After analyzing my fitness tracker, I burned over 1,000 calories throughout the entire session, which is a remarkable achievement. Rich exuded a friendly vibe and was committed to the task, which made the class all the more gratifying. I was eager to learn knee and elbow techniques, and although I am not an expert, I now have a reasonable understanding of the motions. He provided clear and concise instructions by disentangling the movements into smaller pieces and joining them. Whether one desires to master proper technique, self-defense or merely have a phenomenal workout, Coach Rich is the ideal choice. Thanks to Rich for making my weight loss journey enjoyable and enabling me to accomplish my objectives.
