Paul B.

I currently train clients from the beginner to the professional level. My experience is in coaching everyone from the weekend warrior or beginner, to the advanced athlete of any age. I currently hold a personal training certification from the National Academy of Sports Medicine and have extensive training in Muay Thai, Kickboxing, and boxing. I currently work out of Thornton Martial Arts and Fitness in East Harford, CT and live in Southington, CT.

As a fighter I hold a record of 8 wins and 1 loss as a semi-professional Thai Boxer. Having two championship titles in two different weight classes, and holding a knockout win over the US national champion. I have traveled to Thailand and lived/fought out of a Thai boxing camp for five weeks in 2014, sharpening my skills both as an instructor and competitor.

We will take a progressive approach in your training to make sure we advance in a safe and effective manner. Starting with a warm up comprised of jump roping, calisthenics, or stretching. The session will safely challenge your cardiovascular system as we advance through punching, kicking, and knee techniques. You will learn how to take control of your body, improving your balance, range of motion, technique, self-confidence, strength, and endurance. If needed and possible, the use of weight training, or body weight exercises will be used to further advance your skills and overall physique. The session will end with a core workout and a review of your accomplishments and goals.
