    Enrolling my son at this school has been the best thing I've done for him so far. He has autism and was very reclusive and unsociable. Stephen is EXCELLENT with kids and my son actually interacts with him, the other instructors, and children. Something he really hasn't done before. Great people with great values.

    Although I am a 262lb heavyweight I have spent the last 6 years focused on footwork, distance control, angles, and strike variety. You, Wonderboy, are someone I draw heavily from with my striking style.
