I have been a student at Big Cat boxing for 5 months now. Big Cat/Deon is a hard teacher. I just paid for my next 12 months though - so that is obviously something I am looking for. I started going because I was lifting weights at LVAC, but not shredding the fat around my stomach. I'm sure if I went more than twice per week at first I could have gotten to where I am faster, but I appreciate that Big Cat was pretty supportive about my lifting goals. I now typically go box MWF and still go to LVAC, but with the fat shed - my arms and shoulders look better than ever and my stomach is starting to look like I did when I was 23. If you are a dude who doesn't want to be pushed or challenge - you probably shouldn't go. He really pushes you. He is also very careful as to how he would push a lady or some of the older folks I've seen if you are one of these folks! He yells because he cares :) But my muscles and my wife thank the Big Cat.
