From Coach Rod: What My Clients Are Saying About Striking-Based Training

Jay Harris • November 20, 2025

I don’t need to tell you how good the training is… I’ll let my clients do it for me.

Here’s the feedback I hear every single week:

1. “I’ve never had a coach break things down like Rod does.”

Attention to detail is non-negotiable for me. Whether it’s your jab, your teep, or the way you pivot on a hook, I coach every single rep like it matters — because it does.

I don’t throw you into combos on day one. We build them piece by piece, layer by layer, until the technique feels natural and powerful. Clients tell me all the time:

→ “I finally understand why my punches used to feel weak.”

→ “For the first time, my kicks actually have snap and power.”

→ “Rod notices the tiny things no one else ever has — and that’s what’s made the biggest difference.”

That meticulous progression isn’t just for pros or competitors. It’s how beginners become confident and how experienced strikers finally clean up the little flaws that have been holding them back.


2. “I forget I’m doing cardio… and then I’m soaked.”

This is the one that makes me smile the most.

People walk in expecting another boring treadmill slog or repetitive “kickboxing fitness” class where you just flail at the air for 45 minutes.

Instead, they spend the session laser-focused on pads, perfecting angles, chaining combos, and reacting to my calls.

They’re breathing fire, dripping sweat, burning 600–800+ calories…

…and then they look up and say, “Wait… that was the workout? That felt like playing!”

When learning real technique is the priority, cardio becomes the byproduct — not the punishment.

You get fighter-level conditioning without ever feeling like you’re “just doing cardio.”


Bottom Line From the People Who Train With Me


  • You’ll move better than you ever thought possible.
  • You’ll get absolutely shredded while actually enjoying the process.
  • You’ll leave every session with new skills you can use for life (and a quiet confidence that comes from knowing you can throw hands if you ever need to).


If you’re tired of workouts that feel like a chore and ready for training that feels like unlocking a new level of yourself, come train with me at The Realm Fitness.
