Ricardo S.
Martial Arts Instructor
“I met Sergio by accident at age 53 and we discussed my mental & physical health after the passing of my son Owen. I took up the challenge of an initial 3 kickboxing training sessions. 2.5yrs later I'm still working with him. He's my trainer but more importantly my friend. I'm lighter, fitter, quicker, stronger and happier. Kickboxing with Sergio is now a weekly part of my life.”
