Nicole

My name is Nicole and I started at Crazy 88 in December 2009 on the recommendation of a coworker who also belongs to the school, and I absolutely love it here. I came to 88 looking for a fun way to exercise and to learn some self-defense, and I’ve gotten so much more out of it. I was so nervous on my first day that I made my coworker sit through the entire Womens-only Muay Thai class. I didn’t want him to leave me there since I had zero martial arts experience. The coaches and all of the students were so nice and so helpful. Everyone there encouraged me and had patience in teaching me. I was sold after that first hour. And that is just the norm for this place, everyone helps everyone.

Eight months later and we’re all still helping each other to improve. I started out in the womens-only classes, and I now do the coed classes as well. I come to 88 about 5 days a week, for 2-3 hours a day, I’m addicted! I’m having so much fun doing both muay thai and brazilian jiu-jitsu (gi and no-gi). I keep improving, I’m gaining confidence, getting into a different kind of in-shape than I could have ever done at the gym on my own, and I’ve met some absolutely amazing people. I’ve never met so many nice people in one place. The friends I’ve made here I will probably have for life. I always recommend Crazy88 to every woman; the self-defense aspect of everything we’re learning here is fantastic and practical. You cannot put a price on the awesome people, the great work out, the crazy amounts of fun, and the confidence in your ability to defend yourself that you will find at Crazy88.
