Blog | Tran's Martial Arts & Fitness Center

My family has been part of the Tran's family since both my sons started taking classes there back in 2009. My youngest son was 6 then, and my oldest was 12. Now, 6 years later, my youngest son is still a proud member of the Tran's family. He earned his 1st degree Black Belt in Muay Thai a year ago, and is working his way towards his 2nd degree Black Belt right now. He also volunteers at Trans as a Junior Instructor working with the very youngest members there. When we began, he was a super energetic, overly confident, assertive and often aggressive child. Through the positive instruction he received from Master Tran and EVERY OTHER instructor that is now at Trans, or has ever been at Trans, he has evolved into a still energetic, still confident, but now controlled young man. He has learned the right way to use his energy, and how to be a role model. He is strongly committed to the ethics of Martial Arts, which include high grades and personal integrity. The environment at Trans is supportive yet demanding. He knows that he is expected to do his best in every aspect of his life, and that comes directly from this time at Trans. As I mom, I would say the best decision I ever made for my son was fitting Trans into his life. It wasn't always easy, and at times it was downright hard, but I have never done anything more important than encourage his time at Trans. In spite of the few, clearly fraudulent remarks below from some guy that kept changing his name to try to fool us, Trans is a place of integrity and family. Do yourself a favor, come check it out. Any day of the week you will find a team of people working together to encourage personal growth, fitness, and a team environment. You won't find anyplace better.

Professional, clean and organized! Trans has been life changing for our daughter during the past 2 years as a student of Mr. Tran's Muay Thai classes. Mr. Tran's approach to self discipline has helped with following rules at home and in the classroom. We love the "message of the month" to show the students that martial arts is more than just self defense - it's more about respect and good judgment. Our family would highly recommend Tran's. Thank you Mr. Tran for all you do! Joe, Laura and Mae Hickey

I have been taking kickboxing classes at Trans for the past couple months. One of my favorite things about the program is how Master Tran mixes up the workout each week. Every class is different, with a variety of warm-up exercises and different muscles worked, and it keeps class fun and interesting. The kickboxing class is a great workout for all abilities, as Master Tran is very encouraging but never pressures anyone to do more than they physically can. However, expect to leave tired! I have kickboxed at a couple other studios in Northern Colorado in the past, and this has been my favorite experience. I would definitely recommend it!
