WHAT ARE OTHERS SAYING ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP?

---

"I was a new Personal Trainer and had sore elbows and wrists from doing pad work with my clients.  I realised that I needed to learn how to do it properly so booked in with HumanWeapon.  These guys are awesome.  I realised what I had been doing wrong and now really enjoy adding boxing to sessions with my clients. "

"I've been in a boxing club for years doing what my coach did with me.  I struggled with holding pads and coaching punches and combos.  I heard about HumanWeapon pad work and gave it a try.  These guys welcomed me and showed me the the right way to do pad work.  At my age it's not easy to come out of injuries from doing things wrong.  Since the course I've been a much better coach and now I'm helping my fellow boxers teaching them the right way to do things.  Thank you HumanWeapon."
