Sheila H. says, "Coach Adam is a true professional. My 15 year old son loves working with Adam. My son isn’t easily impressed or engaged by many people, but Adam has been able to keep him engaged and inspired in boxing. We plan to be with Adam for a very long time because he is teaching my son much more than boxing. Adam is a great mentor to my son too. He teaches awesome boxing technique, athleticism, professionalism, and motivates kids to be their best while having fun doing it. From my heart…❤️ Sheila Harbour" Read more

Alison J. says, "I can’t recommend Ascend and Defend Academy enough! I came in as a complete beginner, just looking to learn how to protect myself when I’m out with my 12-month-old. The environment was welcoming, and the training was broken down in a way that felt easy to understand and actually fun. I really appreciate how patient and encouraging the instruction was too. I’m very shy, but I had fun. Definitely a place where beginners like me can feel comfortable while still being challenged." Read more
