Fell in love with working out ★★★★★

“There is a saying, 'trust the fat guy when it comes to food' in the same way there is one more saying, 'trust the lazy guy when it comes to exercise' I am the guy in both the sayings. Here at Steel Core Martial Arts it's a surprise every day! Each day you crave going there because you don't know what new you are going to learn. Every day amazingly new work outs and self defense technics are taught. I have paid multiple gyms multiple thousands, but this is the place I actually fell in love with 'work out' The main reason is it doesn't feel like you are working out, It never gets monotonous, you never have the to do the 'SETS' you hate. Every day it's fun laughter and badass workout. The coach and the partner by the name of Rohit is a passionate person and teaches everything in the form of an art! Take my word for it and try the free workout session.”

Authentic, scientific teaching for all ages ★★★★★

“Authentic martial art club Escrimadore Kanchan Nikam sir is an excellent teacher who understands the art and science behind martial arts and human physiology. Kanchan sir's calmness and easy going nature helps him to gel well with students of all the age groups. The teaching methodology is completely scientific, with adequate warm-up and precise body weight exercises, tailored for every individual's physiology. One of sir's famous quote is - "Exercise's count doesn't matter, form does." Bonus, the club is located on a scenic open terrace with lots of fresh air and sunlight.”

Three trial classes, visible results in a month ★★★★★

“I joined TSC about a month back, I was offered 3 trial classes which helped me get a clear idea of what I would learn. Within a month I have seen changes not only physically but in all aspects. Rohit sir is extremely dedicated and gives proper reasoning for the training we do. At TSC every day seems like a new day which keeps us motivated to train better. All precautions in terms of the pandemic are taken care of properly. I would definitely recommend this place for those who want to learn something new or simply just want a good workout.”
