Most of the students will be light sparring as part of their requirement for their belt and the public is welcome to watch.

“Joe is an incredible teacher and I am constantly impressed by his vast knowledge of martial arts. I started learning Muay Thai Kickboxing with Joe when he first opened Total Boxing.
