Ronin Kickboxing

While I only visited Sarasota for a few weeks, I can say with certainty that Josh is a world class muay thai and striking trainer. He has an eye for attention to detail second to none and he makes sure that his students are getting the most out of every session. If you are visiting or living in the Sarasota/Venice area and you have an interest in martial arts you should definitely try and book a session with Josh.

Ronin's is a great Muay Thai/ kickboxing school! Excellent coach Josh who has a keen eye for proper technique and form can help you improve regardless of your level.
This is labeled as a Muay Thai school however Josh is very knowledgeable in the realm of Mixed Martial Arts and can gear your striking for the style you desire. Whether it be pure Muay Thai, Dutch kickboxing or MMA this is the place to be!
The school is set up for private and small group sessions which is invaluable for quick progression as Coach can keep an eye on everyone and makes sure they all get the most out of the session.

I’ve been training with Coach Josh for about one year. I was nervous to start because past experiences with martial arts led me to feeling that it was generally lacking in positivity and support. Josh, as well as everyone who trains under him, has completely changed my perspective. Everyone is positive, supportive, and kind.I look forward to going to class multiple times a week. As someone who has participated in numerous sports and martial arts, I can say with confidence that Josh is by far the best coach I have ever had.

My husband and I have trained with Coach Josh for about a year now and we love it! The kickboxing/Muay Thai training has left me feeling stronger and more empowered than I have felt in years. Every aspect and interaction enhances my life and I always leave feeling proud of myself for getting in there and mixing things up.

Originally, I wanted to train in martial arts to enhance my self defense technique and Coach Josh was highly recommended to me by a friend. I have gotten so much more out of the training with him than I could have imagined and couldn’t be happier; my cardio is up, my strength and stamina has increase, my confidence in my ability to protect myself is always on the rise, and I have met such a giving, committed group of people.

Coach Josh at Ronin Kickboxing is very professional and committed to providing great training to a variety of levels. He is so knowledgeable and encouraging, really helping you not only grasp and execute the skills, but leaving you with a desire to come back time after time and build on what you’ve learned. He has a great following of students/friends who all add to the experience. If you want to do something for yourself and become better, stronger, faster in the kickboxing and Muay Thai practice, reach out to Coach Josh at Ronin Kickboxing. Whether you are interested in the sport or self defense or just an awesome way to stay in shape, you won’t regret it!

I’ve been training with Coach Josh for almost three years now. I’ve trained various martial arts since I was a child and have really found a home at Ronin Kickboxing. The people I train with have all become friends and I just can’t wait to train again after ever session. I’ve trained with great instructors over the years but none compare to Coach Josh. As an ex-competitive kickboxer, his insight is unmatched and he knows how to keep you safe. I’m almost 50 and pretty fragile due to other sports injuries. Thanks to the level of comfort I have in class, I’m able to push myself without the fear of creating a new injury. I recommend trying a class to everyone I know in the Sarasota area. Ronin Kickboxing is Muay Thai based, it’s very technical and effective as a martial art. If you’rea fan of MMA, Muay Thai is what fighters use when standing. On the ground, it’s Jiu Jitsu, Coach Josh is an experienced grappler as well. Give Josh a call today and get in for a class or private lesson. SEE YOU SOON!
