Dante Hosner Fight Training

The very first thing is to figure out exactly what you need as a new student. There are a million things I can teach you but we need to discover the best way to utilize your time. Then we'll see where you're at now with the skills you have and how to best get you to where you want to be.

I've been training students for about five years now at a variety of gyms and clubs around Ohio. I'm a certified personal trainer through the American College of Sports Medicine. I've been trained to teach Krav-Maga, Boxing, Muay Thai, BJJ, and self-defense from a variety of trainers ranging from professional fighters, to blackbelts, certified trainers, and very passionate people who care a lot about what they do. I train and learn daily because I owe it to my students to always improve myself, so I can always improve them. 

I start all my new clients off at a special price of $100 for your first two hours. After which we can discuss various packages and rates for individuals, couples, or groups.

I've always had a passion for martial arts and more recently fitness. I worked hard my instructors saw that I was able to not only perform but also able enough to teach. It's the best job I've ever had. There's nothing as satisfying as seeing a client grow.

While I have worked with plenty of current and retired military, police officers, and amature fighters, most of my students have never thrown a punch in their life. Some are more interested in strength and conditioning work while other's are interested in competing in MMA events. I've never meet a student I couldn't teach.

I recently attended a self-defense seminar in North Carolina called Hard-Ready II sponsored by Fit-to-Fight. Dozens of gym owners, professional grapplers, self-defense instructors, wrestlers, kick-boxers, concealed carry instructors, and edge/impact weapon trainers were all there to learn, share, and train. The quality of the training was exceptional and reminded me just how fortunate I was to be in this field.

Find one that values useable core concepts as opposed to flashy techniques. Find one that's honest. No coach will be able to turn you into a Bruce Lee/John Wick in a couple months. Don't cheat yourself, find a coach that will make you work hard and challenge you, your time is too valueable to be wasted just going through the motions. Most of all, find one that cares about seeing you grow!

What do I want?: Just a workout? To build strength and/or endurance? To relieve stress? To learn new skills? To learn how to defense myself? To learn how to fight?

Why am I learning these things/doing this training?

What are my short term and long term goals? Where am I at now? Where do I want to be in a year? Five years?

Most of all, don't think that you need to have a lot of experience or be in good shape to start. You'll get into shape as you train and you'll enjoy it more that way.
