Sensei Long has been my mentor for the past three years, and his depth of knowledge in every aspect of martial arts is truly impressive. He’s always eager to share that knowledge with the students in a way that’s both encouraging and effective. What sets him apart, is his ability to adapt his teaching to each individual, he understands that every student learns differently and tailor’s each lesson accordingly. He supportive every step of the way and genuinely wants to see you succeed. Classes are always upbeat, new, challenging, and I’ll leave every session feeling motivated and excited for the next one.

Highly Recommended!
As someone who’s a complete beginner to boxing and honestly not the most coordinated person I was a little nervous about getting started. But training with Coach Q has been an absolutely amazing experience.
From day one, he’s been incredibly patient and encouraging. He breaks everything down in a way that’s easy to understand, and he never makes you feel rushed or judged, no matter your skill level. What really stands out is his passion for the sport you can tell he genuinely loves boxing and even more so, loves teaching it. That energy is contagious and makes every session something to look forward to.
Coach Q is also super motivating. He knows how to push you just enough to keep you progressing without feeling overwhelmed. Every time I leave a session, I feel stronger, more confident, and a little more coordinated than the last.
If you’re thinking about starting boxing whether you’re a total newbie like me or just looking for a great coach I can’t recommend Coach Q enough. You won’t find someone more dedicated, knowledgeable, and inspiring to learn from.

Did? Still at NEYF! It started off as, “we gone check him out & if not we’ll try to find a gym”. It turned into, “son I believe we’ve found a “hidden gem”! You know that trainer that finds pleasure in seeing his training “work”? That’s Junior! AND he’s inexpensive! Kinda too good to be true! We love it!
