Awesome place to train and learn self defense. If i could give them 10 i would. Coach Joe is an amazing guy. He will make sure you learn the right way. My kids love him. I trained there for a while and it helped me overcome so many things. Also, it help me lose weight.😊Time and money well invested.πŸ˜‰

I cannot say enough about The Hanover Boxing Club and Joe. I take the kickboxing classes and they are an amazing workout but more importantly I feel as though I’m learning a potentially life saving skill should I ever be attacked. He teaches how to properly execute the punches and kicks but also shows you what not to do to avoid injury. The class seemed very intimidating at first but my best advice is jump right in! I haven’t regretted it. If you’re looking for a way to get a workout in where you’re not wishing it were over, this is the gym/class for you. The 60 minutes fly by! Joe demonstrates the moves before you do them and will help you work on getting better at them. With diet and this as exercise I’ve lost 16lbs! It’s hard but so very worth it. The class is different every day. He keeps you on your toes. He’s also amazingly good with names and will introduce you to everyone. We’re all welcoming and we’re all beginners at some point. 5/5 HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

My sister would rant and rave about how much she loved boxing and what an awesome coach she had at Hanover Boxing, so when my son expressed interest in wrestling and martial arts thats where I took him. I was not disappointed! Now both my son and youngest daughter train there and Coach Joe is phenomenal! They have learned SO much! This world can be a scary place but knowing that I am doing everything I can to help my kids learn how to protect themselves, how to deal with bullies and learn self control and discipline by taking them here and letting Coach Joe guide and teach them makes me feel so much better.

My 11-year-old daughter has been attending Hanover Boxing Club for about 6 months and has grown considerably in both competency and confidence. Joe is a phenomenal coach who works hard to instill not only great form, but self-discipline, situational awareness, and diplomacy skills (underscoring the importance of turning to adults and available community supports before using any techniques learned in class). He manages to cultivate these skills all while simultaneously creating a fun learning environment. Joe promotes a sense of camaraderie instead of competition, always encouraging students of all levels to demonstrate kindness and respect for one another. I look forward to my daughter learning under his expert care for many years to come!

My kids started young at this club, my daughter was being bullied and the coaches help her with the confidence she needed to protect herself and respect others. My son was little and their kids program help him to be active and learn skills to protect himself. We have been there for the last 7 years if not more. Nothing but pleased all the way the coaches are amazing it’s a great environment. Coach Joe is a really respectful, humble and loving guy. I would give more stars if I could ☺️

The Hanover Boxing Club is nothing short of exceptional in every way. Owner and head coach Joe Dressel possesses extensive knowledge, utilizes engaging methods of teaching, and exhibits outstanding character; Joe is the epitome of an effective coach. Taking the time to personally invest in each and every student, Joe provides a comfortable and motivating training environment for everyone. I would highly recommend this gym to individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and experience levels.

Review β„–13

After a tragedy hit our family, it was imperative that my son found a healthy outlet for dealing with the energy that builds up within a teenager in such events. We looked to Joe to see if he thought taking classes at Hanover Boxing Club would be that outlet. Not only was I impressed with the genuine care Joe showed concerning my son, but it was evident that this was the exact right choice. In just joining, I have already seen the difference being involved with HBC has brought to my son’s life. He is showing the drive & desire to β€œshow up β€œ for his day ahead… knowing he’s either going to be hitting the weights with his teammates after school now or heading on in to keep drawing from the knowledge Joe is providing him.

Joe really does a fantastic job of making people feel welcome at his boxing club. I had heard from a friend that she had never been in better shape than when she was taking classes at the boxing club, so when I saw Joes introductory offers on Facebook I decided to give it a try. Very glad I did.Joe is knowledgeable, professional and just a good all around guy. He spends a good amount of time with each student, giving tips and corrections that match their skill and experience. Classes are challenging and interesting.Thanks Joe!

Joe is an amazing instructor - super knowledgeable and very patient - even with those of us who arent especially quick learners. The environment here is very friendly. Everyone is very non-judgmental. The students do a great job of motivating each other. The instruction Ive received here has been excellent. Joe does a great job of mixing things up. Ive never gotten bored, and I am learning new things every day. I always look forward to class!

As many people have stated already, this club is one of the best in the area. Ive taken martial arts for 10 years and have been to multiple teachers and I can honestly say Joe is one of the best teachers around. Real world curriculum, a SAFE environment where you can learn martial arts at your pace. A+ school

My daughter (Faith) was begging me to start an mma class for probably 2. Months or more. Through a friend he recommended that I go to Hanover boxing club and meet with Joe about classes for youth. Well let me tell you we are very happy we took this advice! Joe is absolutely awesome! He is engaged with all the kids and is genuinely interested in their lives in and out of the gym. This along with the fact that he is an accomplished Mixed martial artist makes this the best decision we could have made when choosing an mma school. Our daughter has grown immensely in her confidence and attitude and we have Joe to thank for that. We look forward to many years of great things!

Joe Dressel trained me and my 3 children for years in the Marshal Arts. He is fantastic to say the least. He is extremely dedicated, respectful, ethical and a master in his techniques and methods of teaching...all ages. He is an outstanding individual and teacher. Highly recommended!

I have never been at the Hanover Boxing Club but had the opportunity to meet and train with Coach Joe at Roufusport HQ. He was a great training partner and very knowledgeable. Coaches who continue to invest in their personal training and lead by example are the best. As a Martial Arts School owner myself, I would recommend training with Coach Joe.

Kickboxing Couples = Happier Couples!!My husband and I train hard at the gym 5-6 times per week. On our β€œOff Day,” we love getting our cardio and brainwork on with Joe’s Kickboxing.As a Mom, I feel confident I can protect our children if needed. And as a Woman, I’m not an easy target. I like knowing that I’m doing my best to protect myself and my family by taking these Kickboxing classes.

I trained Muay Thai and Jiu Jitsu with Joe and Phil while I attended college at McDaniel College in Westminster. These guys are top notch. I was in the best shape of my life training with them. They combine years of knowledgeable experience with a great workout at an affordable price. I highly recommend them.

I started going to Hanover Boxing, where I have been taking Muay Thai and Hapkido from Joe Dressel. I have fallen in love with it and I’m so excited to see where I will go with it. The teachers are great and know what they are doing. The atmosphere is very positive and uplifting. I have been noticing some awesome changes. Not only physically but emotionally/mentally too. In the last 3ish months I have been there I have lost 20 lbs, I can now hold a plank and side plank for 65ish seconds (when I started, I could barely hold it for 10 seconds), I can feel my push-ups becoming easier, and my leg muscles are becoming stronger. Emotionally, I can feel myself becoming more confident and loving myself a little more. Seeing and feeling yourself change is an amazing feeling and this place helped me. I am so thankful for the journey so far and I’m excited to continue it!

On my first day I was really nervous (Im shy) but Joe greeted me as if we were lifelong friends; I started the training ... just one class and I was already in love with it! I meet a lot of wonderful / strong persons (from kids to older people) that help me every day, Joe always have the patience to teach me, correct me and motivate me but above all ... a good mood! today I feel like something else, somebody that is learning something new, more confidence, more relaxed, someone that is investing good its free time, someone that knows how to defend itself, more under control, with more friends and less stress ... a happier person ... gosh!
