"James Hines is my very first student. He has shown dedication in Muay Thai and has built himself to become an instructor in Muay Thai. He is now a qualified instructor, by me. With his lengthy experience both training and fighting and good understaning of Muay Thai, James is a very good teacher. I support his practice and his school and look forward to seeing his students develop in Muay Thai."

"Through intense full body workouts incorporating Muay Thai training, James helped me get stronger and build lean muscle. His sessions were fun and challenging. James is personable and constantly changes things up. Plus he's really tall."

"Throughout the years, I have always tried to stay in shape by regularly going to a traditional gym and working out, but had increasingly begun to find it difficult to motivate myself to go through the same routines I had for years. I felt myself sinking into a rut and I was making little or no progress. Within the first few weeks of attending James's classes, I realized I had found something which would take my fitness and endurance to a level of intensity I had never experienced before. What I find especially enjoyable is that you can benefit from an intense full body workout in a fun and sociable environment that caters for both men and women of all ages and backgrounds. James has a very personable style about him that really puts you at ease and classes are very open and friendly. In addition, James's years of experience as both a personal trainer and combat arts expert means he is able to gear his training sessions to the needs of each individual in the group. I have been training at the Old School Muay Thai kickboxing class for approximately one year now and I am in the best shape I have ever been. I lost 35 pounds within the first 9 months of joining and now have the six-pack I could never seem to build through traditional workout regimes alone. As an added benefit because the class is held in the very conveniently located King West club gym right downtown I am able to easily get there after work and also take advantage of the traditional facilities that the gym offers to build both strength and conditioning. If you are looking for a fantastic and fun way to cut the extra pounds while taking your fitness and endurance to a completely new level, then I highly recommend the experience you will enjoy at James's Old School Muay Thai class."

"James is the most bad ass trainer I've ever worked with! "

"Old School Muay Thai is simply amazing!! I had been interested in learning kick boxing for a while, but I was a little apprehensive about it because I wasn't sure if I would fit in since I had never trained before and thought it would be very intimidating. On the contrary, I was welcomed from the very beginning by the trainers, James and Rick, as well as my fellow gym members including men and women of all shapes and sizes. It is truly a great group. I have found Muay Thai to be an excellent intensive workout and fascinating skill to learn. Moreover, they allow you to work at your own pace training alongside some of the best amateur fighters, as well as new beginners, and everyone in between. A definite must!!!"

"I hate working out, but Muay Thai Kickboxing is fun and it's great cardio & strength training at the same time. I see results fast in not only me, but others in my class too. The teachers are a lot of fun as well."
Marc Belgrave
"From my experience this class, when attended regularly, will give you a great core workout, introduce you to muscles you didn't realize you possessed, and exercise your neck muscles too (due to all the great-looking classmates). The central downtown location and added benefit of learning a real martial art from practitioners who've been in the ring are great bonuses!"
