To: Frank, Ralph and Team Shamrock
My name is Troy Baloca and I joined Shamrock Academy about 3 weeks ago. I joined with a goal of overall conditioning and to also learn MMA from qualified fighters. I have to tell you and the potential members that are looking to join that I AM HAVING THE TIME OF MY LIFE. This is by far the best training that any age or gender can experience.
I am a 35 year old father of three, husband and business owner that feels 25 years old again. Thank you for the opportunity to join and looking forward to being a member for a long time to come.
Sincerely, Troy Baloca
Taking the Fitness Fighting classes at Shamrock Martial Arts has been a worthwhile experience. Although I’ve never taken anything like this before, I’ve already been taught so much that even in such a short period, I was already able to use it on a friend of mine.
Here’s the proof. He was shocked and never guessed that I would have already learned such techniques. I was hanging out with a group of friends one day and went to put a birthday cake in their fridge. As I’m leaning over the fridge door putting the cake inside, my friend decides to open the freezer door. So, he hits me, the unsuspecting one, in the forehead with the door. Our other friends including him and I, start laughing at what just happened because then, two seconds later, he couldn’t get a grip on things. I made him deal with two roundhouse kicks, an arm bar, shoulder lock, and a rear-naked choke. My friend looked like he was about to fall over from the pain he was in and also the laughing from this surprise. Everyone in the apartment tried to get a replay of the entire event. They laughed for a straight 20 minutes. Throughout the entire thing, everyone dropped all that they were doing to see. Some of the guys ran out onto the balcony to tell others to hurry up inside because they had to see me using all the techniques on our friend, and having it work! They ran inside and next thing being heard was shouts of them saying to roundhouse kick him again and repeat everything.
Thanks to Ralph, the General Manager, and all of the staff at Shamrock Martial Arts who are incredible, I keep learning new things that I now, firsthand, know are extremely effective. The friendly atmosphere of Shamrock Martial Arts gives me thus the more reason to want to continue with all that they offer, especially with the motivation I have attained from everyone, staff and members alike. Thank you for this great experience!
Thank you so much!
