"John changed my entire striking game. I used to rely on power, but he taught me how to set traps and use my reach. Best coach I've ever had."

Sneha Ghosh Amateur Fighter
"The 'Gritty Luxury' vibe is real. Training with John feels like a premium experience but the work is incredibly hard. Highly recommend his private sessions."

Ritam Roy Fitness Enthusiast
"I've trained at gyms all over the world. John's attention to detail on clinch work is second to none. He breaks down complex moves simply."
