Jungle Gym Martial Arts will be at Danbury, Connecticut in full force this Saturday. Coach Leo will be representing MMA in the Bronx in his first Muay Thai match. This fight camp was not with out its bumps and bruises but “the Mexicutioner” is no stranger to the grind. I remember when he first joined the Jungle Gym we could tell right off the bat that this kid had some serious potential. Once Master Chim started investing some serious time in him you saw that he was going to be something special. So this Saturday Coach Leo will be making it happen!

Had another great session of MMA sparring this morning. Everyone really pushed the pace in these rounds so there were no easy rounds. The level of striking has definitely gone up a notch with our less experienced students. Everyone remembered the fundamentals that Master Chim has instilled in all of us so the training was very productive. When it comes to MMA in the Bronx, Jungle Gym Martial Arts cannot be beat. The level and diverstiy of training is second to none. Do not take my word for it call 718-684-5138 and come in and see for yourself!

This morning you would not have to take much time searching. All you would have to do is open the doors to Jungle Gym Martial Arts. Our training was off the hook. We all did 13 grappling rounds with only 30 second rest in between. We had quite a few high level grapplers so it made the intensity level reach epic proportions. Needless to say all my energy was spent after this mornings session but I felt great because I knew that my teamates pushed me to become a better martial artist on this day.

For the best MMA training in the Bronx

This Saturday we have three of our very own competing in Muay Thai. John and Julie Ladisa will be representing our teens program. They have been preparing with Master Chim for the last few weeks and are looking real sharp. They’re training has been tough and they have definitely been tested in sparring but the end result will be victory for these young phenom’s. Coach Leo will be representing MMA in the Bronx. The technique and speed that he has shown in his training are signs of things to come for his opponent this Saturday. Jungle Gym Martial Arts will be well represented this weekend in these upcoming bouts!

Master Chim’s good friend Joe March made his return this week. He was on a bit of a hiatus because of some injuries but all of that is behind him and he ran a great class today. Joe March is one of Jungle Gym Martial Arts and Master Chim’s brown belts and he always runs a great class that has a heavy emphasis on drilling. It is always great to have this level of talent on the mats. He rolled with a lot of the guys on Tuesday and this morning he based the class on what the guys needed to work on most. He definitely helped tighten up my game today!

I had a talk with a good friend of mine and he told me that he has never had much to count on in his life. Obviously this upset me because we live in one of the greatest cities in the world where opportunities are endless. My friend was never given the tools to see what the world has to offer. For me MMA has given me so much and it made feel very fortunate. It gave me something to believe in and to be passionate about. Now I go after success in life as if failure was not an option. People may think that Jungle Gym Martial Arts is just a place to learn choke holds and kicks but it is much more it is a place that would help you reach your true potential in life.

We had a full house this morning for our sparring class. At the Jungle Gym the sparring is full contact and we train like warriors. 12 rounds 30 second rest in between and push yourself to finish each round strong. Everyone was looking to steal each round so it made for some fierce training. We were all smiles at the end and no one really slacked off. We even had one gentleman making his first appearance since joining the warrior program and he had a good first outing. With training like this you cannot find a better place for MMA in the Bronx!

Coach Leo is continuing his preparation for his upcoming Muay Thai fight. He had a hard sparring session last night which was an eye opening experience for him. He really got to see what he needs to work on. This young man is humble and smart and I am sure that he will make the adjustments he needs to, to be ready on May 19th. He is a great ambassador for MMA in the Bronx. I remember the day he first signed up, we could tell right off the bat that he was hungry and wanted to compete at the highest level. Right now we have the pleasure of seeing a great career right from the very beginning! Look out for Leo “The Mexicutioner” Muniz because if you have not heard of him yet mark my words you will soon.
