To everybody, it's a real-life lesson. I learned a lot of life lessons with mixed martial arts. So, it's an experience when you first come because you're like the nail before the hammer, right? But once you continue to come, it's a very satisfying, rewarding feeling when you start to get good at this sport, and you meet so many good people. I recommend it to everybody who can. Would you recommend martial arts to my people, to your people, everywhere? They changed my life in a significant way. I used to play a lot of basketball; it was my first sport. Then I got cut from the team, and I wanted to find something to compete in. I stumbled upon this gym, and I was amazed. In my opinion, it's the best gym on all of Long Island. They taught me how to throw my first punch, and now I'm a 5-1 professional fighter. I have an upcoming fight in December, and yeah, this place, the people, it's amazing.
