Here is what actual students and parents
have to say about our Muay Thai program...
I had been taking other kickboxing classes while I was at
university, however I wanted to keep working out while I was
at home for the summer. I joined Martial Arts Planet after
it was recommended to me by a friend and after only the first
class I realized just how superior the level of skill, knowledge
and expertise was compared to my previous gym. Khru Sweeney
dedicates his time equally between every student no matter
how good or poor they may be, which makes for the ultimate
training experience. Nicholas V.

I have now been taking Muay Thai kickboxing
lessons for approximately 9 months. From the moment I walked
into your school I knew that I was dealing with complete professionals
who genuinely care about their student’s progress.
Since beginning, I have been very impressed with the classes,
and I feel that I am improving with every session through
quality instruction. I have also had the opportunity to witness
some of the classes involving small children, and the treatment
and attention that each child receives is remarkable. I truly
believe that both yourself and Khru Rebecca are not only trying
to produce great martial artists, but great people.
I am also extremely impressed with your drive to improve your
facilities and training through new equipment purchases and
seminars with some of the world's greatest martial artists.
It was because of the quality of the training that I decided
to expand my study into Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and again, the
instruction is topnotch.
I feel that everyone at Martial Arts Planet goes the extra
mile to make each student feel better about themselves and
their abilities. And most importantly, everyone is made to
feel like they are part of something important. Mike
C.

The instructors at Martial Arts Planet combine
two facets of teaching that are, unfortunately, rare amongst
trainers. The first is an outstanding level of skill, knowledge,
and expertise about their subject area. The second, and more
difficult to find, is the ability to demonstrate and teach
this skill to others. Most surprisingly is the fact that they
do this for students at all levels of maturity, age, and skill.
Not only do they challenge their students to excel, they empower
them to do so. Excellent instructors and a great environment
combine to deliver highly professional martial arts training
for all students. Derek M.
For years, I've had a deep and genuine desire
to learn about martial arts, but always lacked the confidence
to try and kept making excuses to put it off. But finally,
I summoned up the courage to face the unfamiliar and walked
through the door of Martial Arts Planet. I had no idea what
to expect and was immediately put at ease with very diplomatic
and talented instructors in an atmosphere that so effortlessly
breeds motivation, learning and mutual respect. I still can't
believe how much I learn from each new class and how often
I see people who possess so much skill behave in such a modest
and humble way. Steve P.
Just over a year ago I was joking around with
fellow employee's about how the car business seems to create
a very short life for those who are in it. Like a lot of other
areas of employment, there is a lot of stress; however, we
added to that the lack of physical activity, irregular eating
times, pizza diet, long hours, smoking etc. I think you get
the point.
I decided to do something about it. Being one of those people
who never seem to follow through on things that are good for
me, I was hoping I could find something that I could stay
with.
I called the school and set an appointment to view the facilities
and meet the trainers. I always was interested in boxing,
however being 46 and way out of shape, thought I could never
be able to do an activity like that.
Signing up for one year of Thai kickboxing changed the way
I think about my life. Not only do I notice what it has done
for me physically but my mental approach to life is much better.
Now when I am scheduling my time, I do so around the Thai
class. I tell everyone it is the best thing I have ever done
for me. Jim S.
Thai Boxing is a terrific martial art, especially
for women who are interested in both self-defense and fitness.
Since I started my confidence has soared. My training at this
school has been a truly positive experience. Khru (instructor)
Sweeney gives his students the personal attention they need
while also encouraging interaction among the students in (and
outside of) class. Eileen M.
Muay Thai has given me the to face greater
and more difficult challenges... as well as the confidence
to attack life long aspirations with a clear mind. Terry
H.
I joined Thai Boxing at Martial Arts Planet
in an attempt to get into shape without the boredom and monotony
of the typical gym routine... I have met some fun and interesting
people... attending Thai Boxing class has become the highlight
of my week. Chris B.
While the training is delivered in a modernized atmosphere
the traditional qualities and etiquette of the martial arts
is still maintained - I think this is important. The training
is always interesting, cutting edge, effective, challenging
and most importantly, it is enjoyable. While I am thankful
for the ability to train I too am thankful for the opportunity
to train and at a high end calibre school with high end calibre
instruction. Greg A.
