Randy Brown Mantis Boxing & Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu

“My kid has been going to KIDS Ground Class since May. Coach Tom is a patient, fun, and a very good fit with my son. Randy Brown is just amazing. He is such a good role model for children. Always being respectful but firm. My son recently started attending their new KIDS Boxing class and it is one of my son’s favorite activities. The classes are small so the children receive excellent instruction. The facilities are clean and the staff is excellent. Cannot recommend enough. Feel truly lucky to have found Mantis Boxing.”

“I found the school to be welcoming, professional, friendly and student-focused. Classes are kept small and individual attention is paid even in a group setting. Randy maintains a focus on each student, providing insight, coaching and encouragement. Highly recommended.”

“I have only taken kickboxing classes here, but I absolutely love this little dojo. Randy really cares about his students and goes to great lengths to give each individual the attention and motivation they need to succeed. Randy, Holly, and all of the folks who come to classes are friendly, welcoming, and supportive - this is a really fun place to work your ass off and get into great shape without fear of judgement or ridicule. I started out a few months ago with no experience and no real athletic ability to speak of and have progressed faster than I ever thought possible!”

“My two children have joined Randy’s class. My older 9YO does the Jiujitsu class and the Mantis Boxing class. My 5YO has joined the Jiujitsu class. Feel so lucky to have found this gym. Couple of things: 1. My kiddos love the instruction. Randy is an excellent teacher and LOVES what he does. 2. There are no time outs for the children. They are talked with like an adult, which is a big plus in my book. 3. Tom is an awesome coach. He and Randy create the perfect balance in a class with children. 4. The ratio of 4/1 teacher is something not found in regular children’s classes. My kids received individualized training and that is great because they have wiggly butts. 5. The atmosphere is that of respect and mutual collaboration towards your peers. 6. Piece of mind as a mother because my kids are in a safe environment. Keep doing the amazing job you are doing! And THANK YOU for teaching our kids not only this art but teaching them how to be kind, respectful, and good human beings.”

“As an older student with no prior martial arts experience I was quite apprehensive about my first undertaking in martial arts. When I first contacted the school Master Brown spent quite a bit of time with me on the phone to understand my athletic background and goals. He clearly articulated his training philosophy and how he ran his school. In short he made feel much more at ease with taking that first step of showing up at the school and taking a class. Needless to say I enjoyed my first class and have not looked back. As a long time athlete who has been fortunate to have been coached by a number of top instructors in a variety of different athlete pursuits, I can recognize a good coach vs. an inferior one. Master Brown is a very gifted athlete who has been successful not only in several disciplines of martial arts, but who has completed at the very highest levels in other sports as well. He combines his athletic background with a solid understanding of exercise physiology and nutrition and is able to pass that knowledge onto his students. Master Brown is a dedicated teacher who goes to great lengths towards understanding different teaching mythologies and how best to apply them to the individual student whether that student is a teenager or septuagenarian. Master Brown’s efforts give each student the best chance of being successful in his or her chosen pursuit. Whether you have been on the fence about learning a martial art or you are already an accomplished martial artist Nor’easter Martial Arts is the school for you.”
