One of the things that I have been looking forward to since opening the school, is having one of my students visit my roots at Babalu’s Iron Gym. To step on the mats where I trained for almost 9 years, where I was an instructor for over 4 years. To meet the training partners that grew with me, with blood and sweat.

Jose had a wonderful time training at Babalu’s Iron Gym while he visited his family in California. Picked up some great techniques, and created bonds of his own.

A B.I.G. Thank You to our family at Babalu’s Iron Gym!

We are proud to sponsor our local Meadow View Elementary School PTO and their Jog-A-Thon event for 2019.
