Been training with Dave for seven years now. Within 3 months of training (Muay Thai only), I noticed a difference in my health and physique. After 6 months, I was in the best shape of my life (and that's 1-1.5 hours x2-3/week). Kru Dave is a no BS, technical coach. It's not for everyone, but if you want smart, practical training, don't need to be coddled and can handle tough love, then Dave is your guy.

I've been training with Dave and American Boxing for 7 years now. I've done all sorts of martial arts for most of my life, but nothing has been as effective in maintaining my health and physique as Boxing and Muay Thai with Dave. I noticed fat loss and muscle tone after just 3 months and in 6 months I was in the best shape of my life. Kru Dave is a no BS, technical coach. It's not for everyone, but if you want smart, practical training, don't need to be coddled and can handle tough love, then come and try a few sessions. It's good for all ages and experience levels.

I’ve been training with Dave for over one year. I have progressed a lot and Dave continues to challenge me every single class, and in-between. Dave has a wealth of knowledge about training methodologies and will help you get to your personal goal, whatever they may be. He also knows a what appears to be everything there is to know about nutrition, healing from injuries, and he’ll talk you out of any slump quickly.
I thoroughly enjoyed my personal training with Dave. He was able to accommodate the different fitness levels of my mom, my sister and me with ease, we all felt challenged but also not overwhelmed. And he’s great with kids!
