Joe Dupuis is an exceptional teacher.  One of his qualities I appreciate the most is his attention to detail; for him, physical movements are whole stories that have beginnings, middles and ends.  I think it's this quality that puts the "art" in martial arts.  As his student, I continually hone and craft my sidekicks or jabs, and with each class my movements deepen.  I had no idea that in two years I could get to where I got with kickboxing, that I could walk onto a movie set or into an audition and know that I had a degree of expertise that would surprise and excite other people and myself.

And on top of it all, kickboxing is such an incredible workout!  Joe pushes you further than you think you can go.  He's incredibly sensitive to the needs of the individual student, and he knows when you can push yourself just a little bit further.

I can't imagine a more dedicated teacher than Joe Dupuis.

I started doing Muay Thai with Joe for the exercise benefits and what
I got out of it was a passion. Joe took his passion for teaching and
turned it into a passion for learning for me. How could I not want to
give Joe my all when he does that for me every single session? The
best quality Joe has is that he truly loves to teach the art of Muay
Thai. He puts thought into everything he does. I never once got bored
with him or his class. He allows everyone's personality to shine
through, accepts us for who we are and encourages us every step of theway. I have never met anyone like Joe, he is truly one of a kind whichis say because I wish there were more people like him. He's a great trainer but more importantly, he's a great person.

I remember my first day in Joe's kickboxing class and wasn't sure what to expect.  I was actually a little nervous to join the class since it appeared that everyone was a seasoned attendee, but the class was very warm and inviting.

In act, Joe is an excellent teacher; he teaches verything from the basics to advanced sparring.  His ethod of instruction includes detailed & verbal emonstrations.  His workouts are challenging in the ense that you feel accomplished and satisfied at the end.  Joe is an exceptional instructor, in that he is a great observer and tailors his instruction on a personal level in class or in a personal training session. 

I personally have lost 8 lbs in the last 12 months and gained balance, stamina and strength from his classes.
