"Not Challenged Anywhere Else!"

"My name is Tom Vogelgesang.  I had the pleasure of being a part of your school for about eight months.  I have tried two other gyms (I won't name them because I don't want to talk bad about them).  They were okay, but I just didn't feel challenged and they didn't work be hard enough.  I got more one-on-one help from you and your instructors than in the other places with half of the students.  Their warm ups and drills are nothing compared to those at Daddis Fight Camps.  Their classes never made me feel like I was going to die like yours did (haha)!  All right, just thought you'd like to know that your classes are 100 times better than any of the other places around here!"

"Kicked The Stress Out Of His Life!"

"I inquired about Muay Thai classes with Daddis Training Centers after a friend recommended it to me.  At the time I was low on confidence, out of shape, and in need of an outlet for stress.  After a week of training, I was hooked.  After watching one live fight, I had to do it myself.  I trained Muay Thai at Daddis Training Centers for 6 months.  After 6 months I was much more confident, in close to the best shape of my life, and was cut-kicking the stress out of life. “

"All Ages Can Safely Train Like Professional Fighters At Daddis Fight Camps"

"My name is Ed O'Neil.  I'm a 45 year-old Case Management Specialist for the Federal Government here in Philadelphia.  I have been a student at the Daddis Academy for about a year (although I had to time some time off due to surgery for an unrelated injury).  I have to say at first I was a little intimidated by the thought of starting a training regiment that was very new to me.  But once you realize that this is not like any other place you have been, you see the big picture.  There are no cliques and no one EVER has made me feel awkward.  My first private class, after speaking with Brad on the phone a half dozen times, was with Aaron Meisner.  To think that the first person that showed me how to wrap my hands and throw a jab and a hook may be fighting in the UFC is pretty cool.

Even when I had my surgery, Brad would e-mail me to see how I was recovering and asking when I would be back.  I can really say this meant a lot since someone so busy running a business and teaching classes still took the time to keep in touch.  I'm definitely in great shape now, and even though I wish my cardio was better (it's tough keeping up with these guys in their early twenties), I love it. 

I love the classes and the instructors.  Everyone is so helpful!  Do I think that I will ever be a pro fighter?  No.. but there is no reason I can't train like one.  I want to thank Brad and everyone at Daddis Training Centers for making me feel a lot better about myself and for helping me get in such great shape."

"World Class Instruction Rave Review"

Why would I recommend someone to come to Daddis Trainign Centers?  The answer was obvious after my first visit to the academy.  You guys train hard!  Just watching one class made a huge impression on me.  I was also very well received by the instructors.  The quality of training is world class.  I mean this.  I paid a visit to four or five schools a few times each before visiting the academy in Philadelphia.  Daddis Training Centers was the perfect fit.

What benefits have I received?  I have lost 15 pounds.  I'm not saying typical martial arts aren't a great work out, but Muay Thai takes it to the next level or two!  I feel very confident while sparring now since I am much more well-rounded.

To sum it up--I travel an hour and a half each way to come to the Philadelphia academy.  That should strongly support my testimonial.  Locals are lucky to have a school so close to them!"

"Motivated To Lead A Healthier Life"

"I've trained in Martial Arts for 15 years and it is rare to find a school that is clean, friendly, and fun.  Daddis Fight Camps is all of these and more.  The instructors are approachable as well as patient and extremely knowledgeable.  The experiences that I have there have motivated me to eat right as well as train, and between them both I have lost fifty pounds in only six months of training."

"Sports Don't Have To End When School Does"

"Brad, you and your staff by far are the best around......PERIOD!!!!  I have played Division II college football at West Chester university and had a career ending injury (I BROKE MY NECK !!! ) but made a full recovery.  Doing two-a-day practices in the grueling 100 degree temps in August was definately a challenge.  I personally thought I would never ever come to anything as challenging as college football conditioning  in my life.. Until I came across your school!!!!!  WOW!!!!  I feel very lucky and fortunate to be able to train with you guys!!! Daddis Training Centers is the best!!!!  I have trained at a few different schools....mostly in the counties........YOU guys by FAR ARE THE BEST!!!!!!  Thanks!!!!"

"Teammates, Friends, And Family"

"Having trained at your academy now for 6 months, I would say that one reason I would recommend the Daddis Training Centers to others would be the knowledge, assistance, support and direction of your instructors.   All of the staff members have been instrumental to my success and continue to provide a motivating and positive environment for training.  I would also say that the people who train at your school are all extremely friendly, competitive, and work to push you each and every time you step on the mat. People train together and work to help each other improve at all aspects of mixed martial arts, which is much different than other "gyms" where I have trained in the past."

"Using Daddis Training Centers To Prepare For The Military"

"My Name is Phil C.  I’m a 23 year old Temple University Senior, and for the moment, I am also a forklift driver for a company in Northeast Philadelphia.  I say for the moment, as I fully intend on re-enlisting back into the Air Force.  But before I leave, I needed to shed some unwanted pounds that I’ve gained back since leaving the Reserves.  A friend recommended me, and since my own work outs had failed I figured I’d give it a shot.  I’ve been at the Philly Daddis Training Center for almost 2 months now.  In that time I have meet some great people, and learned a lot.  The staff is literally and figuratively always active in making it a positive experience from which you will learn and grow while your here.  The staff has been extremely helpful in dieting, training, and exercise tips as well.  During my time here I have lost 15 lbs (And that’s during the Holiday Season), and my friends and family have noticed “a new calm about me”.   This place is a great stress relief, and I think the greatest thing is that unlike a gym, the workouts are always different and always push me to my limits; there is a NEVER dull repeat class.  Thanks for Everything!"

- Phil C., 23, Temple University Student

"Online Training Helped Me Perfect My Technique"

"Brad, joining your gym was one of the best decisions I've made for myself in a long time.  I love the workouts, and my fellow students are really helpful, but I want to tell you that I'm especially grateful for the online training.  Using the online training feature on your website allowed me to practice the techniques at home so they were more automatic when I was in class.  HUGE help.  Thanks so much!"

"Top Competitor Built From The Ground Up"

"It has been three years since I starting training at Daddis Fight Camps, and it was one of the best decisions of my life. I started training to get back into shape. When I began I was 260lbs and had no experience at all. With the quality instruction of Daddis Fight Camps, I had won my first grappling tournament with only six months of training. My skillset continued to improve at an accelerated rate and I went on to win several grappling titles. I then began training Muay Thai and Mixed Martial Arts, and adding these disciplines stepped up my physical fitness and my skill level. I now am an experienced Jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai, and Mixed Martial Arts competitor and take pride in representing Daddis Fight Camps in competition, in the gym, and on the street. I have lost close to 70lbs training and was an alternate for Spike's reality sensation The Ultimate Fighter 7. I owe all my success to great instruction I received here at Daddis Fight Camps. Besides the training, I have made some great friends who inspire me everyday to work hard. Whether you are trying to get into shape, learn quality self defense, or are looking for a top competition school Daddis Fight Camps is the place to be!"
