The energy in the gym is always super positive — you can really feel it as soon as you walk in. The coach (Danny) sets the tone perfectly. He does an amazing job making everyone feel included, and he’s very approachable, personable, and transparent.

Danny’s Muay Thai classes cover everything — technique, conditioning, and even the clinch. He’s a well-rounded practitioner and coach, and honestly, it’s impressive how humble he is given all of his professional accomplishments across Muay Thai and BJJ. The workouts will definitely get you into shape too.

He’s also fantastic with kids — he knows how to make the classes fun, engaging, and age-appropriate while still teaching discipline and skill. I really look forward to getting my children involved in the gym when they’re ready because I know they’ll be in great hands.

Whether you’re looking to get fit, learn self-defense, train recreationally, or compete, there’s truly a place for everyone here. I highly recommend this gym and couldn’t be happier training here.

While visiting family in Rochester, I wanted to do some training, so all my time wouldn't be spent eating and drinking.

I didn't bring any gloves or shin guards (too bulky for the suitcase this trip). So, I used this trip as an opportunity to finally start doing some grappling (i.e., BJJ).

The No-Gi classes with Coach Lucas were amazing and really built a foundational understanding for me. I even did a private training lesson to over various self-defense scenarios, since I'm not currently training for any fights.

I also attended a kickboxing class, which happened to be on sparring day! This was a treat for me, since I had been sparring regularly for the past few months in ATX. The sparring is light and technical, which is all I'm interested in (again, since I'm not currently training for any fights).

Since I wanted to focus on grappling this trip, I decided to also do some Thai Clinch Training with Coach Danny. Not only has Coach Danny given me a strong foundation for Thai clinch fighting, I have now decided that I want to specifically focus on clinch fighting when I get back to Austin!

I did 4 private lessons with Coach Danny. The first session was focused on clinching, the second on escaping, the third in knee attacks from the clinch and the fourth/final session was putting it all together by sparring with the Coach!

Naturally, it takes months to years to become proficient at any discipline. This was the foundation I need for grappling and clinch fighting!

Since, I currently reside in TX and only come to Rochester a few times a year, I asked for a 10 class membership. So, whenever I'm in Rochester, I have a gym to train at!

Thank you Rochester Top Team! 🙏

PS: After clinch sparring with the Coach, I decided to treat myself to a Garbage Plate! 🙌
