Description
.WHAT OUR PEOPLE HAVE TO SAY ABOUT US.... Thank you to Wes, MaryAnne, Amy, and all the fencers and parents at NBS - you've made Olivia feel great to be a part of the group, and have made NBS one of her favorite places to be. -- Karl, Olivia's father (also a fencer) I like this gym because it covers history of the sword. It also makes you focus. And it covers my favorite attack - lunges. There is even bouting. Fencing is a cool sport because it has developed over hundreds of years. Wes is a good coach because he likes teaching me even though I'm not very good yet. When I need help on something specific, he helps me on that a lot. He makes us work hard, but then we get to fence. -- Thomas Gobble, age 8, fencing at NBS Gym since 2003 I began training at NBS gym because of a growing interest that I had in boxing that grew out of watching professional boxing. My goals when I first went to NBS were just to find a place close to where I live that could provide me with a safe environment to gain a better understanding of how boxing works and what it's like to compete as a boxer. During my tenure at NBS I have gained those things and much more. The folks at NBS have an excellent understanding of all facets of boxing, and the people who train you have participated in the sport at almost every level. More importantly, they fully understand the risks and rewards involved in boxing (as well as fencing and kickboxing), and tailor a training regiment that is challenging but safe for each individual. Anyone who wants to train to compete will find excellent facilities, information, hands-on training, and support. Likewise, anyone who simply wishes to improve their personal fitness level, satisfy curiosity about a sport, or gain valuable self-defense skills can do these things with as much or little physical contact as desired. I feel lucky to have found NBS Gym and lucky to continue to train there. There is an excellent sense of community within the gym, and I count the friends and acquaintances I have made there to be as valuable as the knowledge and training I have received. I would happily recommend NBS to anyone. -- Mark McCraw, boxing at NBS Gym since 2004 I had been interested in learning boxing since high school and college, but my schedule had not permitted me much time for other activities other than the main two I was involved with. I had wrestled some in high school, played soccer on a collegiate level, and driven race-cars through those years as well, so I thought I was pretty versatile. Once I came to NBS Gym, I didn't realize what I was missing. I have learned so much over the last year and an half and boxing has given me a different perspective as to how far fighters have to push themselves physically/mentally to be successful. Wes and Amy are truly professionals and their skills are evident in the detailed lessons they teach each session . They train to the levels of the participants/competitors and are always willing to put in the time to help each individual. Also, you are training with everyone from amateur competitors to beginners, so it is a great mix of people to be around.
