“You taught Aiden & Gabe to continue to press forward, especially during the challenging days when they were defeated... Priceless! To not give up is such a valuable trait in life. Thank you for reinforcing that!

I loved seeing our boys come back after they were tapped out. They learned technique and ‘life lessons‘ that I know they will carry on in life from you.“

-Jessica Oropeza | Sons Gabe 14 & Aiden 9

 
 

“Thanks for helping me through a lot. I couldn‘t have had a better coach. I hope you do really well on your studio. I‘m glad you are really straight forward on doing things. I‘ll never forget how much you helped me!“ - Aiden - Boa!!!

 

“He said no initially, because he says no to everything…

We tried it, the first class- he loved it; and he’s been coming ever since. …he even quit soccer… he just trains everyday…”

-Cindy Velasco | Son Francisco 11
