Don't Just Take Our Word For It..

"I've gone here for three years now and can honestly say they have excellent coaching and a great team led by the head coach Jay.

I would recommend martial arts to anybody looking for disciple and confidence and you won't find many places as good as Team Hanson to start.

Team Hanson is a one of a kind place to learn Muay Thai. My experience has been amazing and I am still training with Team Hanson because they are the BEST! Best sessions, best coach, best price.

I would highly recommend Team Hanson to everyone who would like to train, regardless of their age and especially for beginning who are looking to learn the best technique
