What Our Students Say
Hear from our community about how training at our academy has impacted their lives.
Mike Santoro
"I recently trained at Dynamite Kickboxing at their new space in Chicago. Coach Raul (striking) and Professor Arthur (bjj) are top shelf. The space is super clean with all new mats and gear for classes. Its clear that they put a LOT of time, energy and pride into the gym. This place will be on everyone's radar very soon."
S H
"Cannot speak highly enough about this place and Coach Raul. His dedication and pride in his work and the sport is more than apparent when working with him. I've taken both the standard classes and the one on one personal training and they are all outstanding values. If you're looking to get in the best shape of your life, became an exceptional kickboxer or just be apart of an exceptional community Dynamite is the place for you"
Patrick Ruiz
"I have been going to Dynamite Kickboxing for 7 months, It has been an absolute pleasure to have Raul as my coach. He has been the nicest person to work with and you can tell he super passionate about the gym. During my time here, I only had one bad experience with a previous student that was completely immature and inappropriate. Coach Raul handled the situation professionally and fairly. Despite Marlela's inappropriate and false negative review of Raul as a person, the environment of the gym is by far the best experience you could have."
sean wright
"Dynamite kickboxing is the best gym in the upstate! Coach Raul Diaz is very knowledgeable and patient. This is the perfect gym for all skill levels. From beginners to experts everyone is made to feel extremely welcome.I can not recommend enough!"
