Perfect for the little ones.

I had a great time training there and my sparring skills definitely were improved. Kru Mehdi is a good man and great trainer. I also enjoyed the friendly atmosphere. Great times I will never forget.

I am very sad to write a poor review for a local business but I feel my story should be shared. I have trained at KB ONE for four years, part of which I was also teaching kids and beginner classes. Recently I was unemployed and unable to afford to train (a whopping $130 for 2 classes per week) and when I told Mehdi that I couldn't continue due to financial issues, immediately he cancelled my membership and charged me a massive cancellation fee of $325. All though it does state in the contract that upon cancellation you would be charged 40% of your remaining balance, I had forgotten (like many of us, I didn't fully read the contract. Lesson learned). Why a business charges for cancelling, I don't completely understand. So I talked to Mehdi asking if we could make an agreement to lower or remove the fee. I hadn't ever said that I would never come back, so the fee seemed rather rude to me. He wouldn't agree to a reduced fee, all the while knowing that I couldn't afford it. Even while in his classes I was pressured to test for my next belt level, and every test costs cash. My next belt was going to cost me $79 (and they continue to get more expensive the higher you go). Mehdi was teaching the class I was in and I felt like he didn't pay me any attention. He focused on students who were really excelling or training for a fight with another gym. I came for his instruction, I got very little of it, and over all, I am left feeling like all I was to him was a chunk of cash.

One of the best Muay Thai and mixed martial arts schools on the north shore! Kru Mehdi and Barb are the best and their classes are always fun and intense. Highly recommend KB-ONE to anyone just starting out or veteran martial artists.

Kru Mehdi and Miss Barb, the owners and head instructors, treat you with respect and provide tons of encouragement. I have been going for many years now, the first time I've ever stuck with something for more than a year. It's a great workout and I always leave with a smile on my face. The students there are friendly and I remember it being very easy to get started as a beginner. Most importantly for me, I feel confident that I can defend myself if necessary. Also love the new juice bar.
