Shihan Hellman is wonderful my daughter started training with him 18 years ago , she still has the no quitting spirit he instilled in her . My grandson is now a student of his. The level of respect taught by Shihan can not be matched. Before moving from NY we had looked into Karate schools for our children, we we not impressed, after meeting Shihan we decided to enroll our girls. Almost 20 years later, I can not say enough about this wonderful instructor and the wonderful management of Miss Irene.
I've been training with Shihan Hellman since I was 5 years old. He and his training has helped me in so many ways in my life.
From focusing on school better to a disciplined work ethic; I thank Shihan for being there when I was a kid and grateful he is still teaching today.
Everything I have learned I have carried with me in my life. I'm 28-years old with a doctorate and thankful I trained under Gary Hellman as his training gave me the confidence I needed to achieve it.
My kids have been training with Shihan Gary Hellman for years. He is an amazing instructor and we are so happy we found his gym.
Excellent Head Coach! Passionate about each student and meticulous with his art. Highly recommend Coach Hellman and his staff
Excellent coaches who provides the best training. Highly recommend!!
I’m a 43 year old mother of 2, a 19 year educator and former collegiate athlete that thrives on staying fit, and feeling the empowerment of having the tools to defend myself in an unfortunate situation. Hellman’s MMA is a great way to stay in shape, keep my mind healthy and provide a healthy family lifestyle for my children. Sensei Gary Hellman is an amazing instructor that will provide your child with structure teach them discipline and build confidence. It’s with conviction that I recommend Hellman’s MMA. #Blackbelt4Life #Jointheclub
I highly recommend Hellman’s. From young to old , they cater to everyone’s needs. One of the best MMA clubs in North America.
