Greg Ardon, the gym’s head trainer, founded Ardon Sweet Science in January of 2005. He was motivated to train in the martial arts and boxing by his late grandfather, Moises Ardon, who was also his coach. He persuaded Greg to create a gym so that he could share his knowledge and enthusiasm with others.
Greg is a former all-around gymnast and a former amateur boxer who began training in traditional martial arts when he was a small boy. In particular, he specialized in Kung Fu (Fu Jow Pai/Ving Tsun), but he also boxed. Greg competed in the Four Star full contact kung fu world championships in San Francisco, California, when he was 19 years old, and he claimed victory.
He felt the need to enhance his fighting skills at that time, so he started training in boxing and muay thai kickboxing. Both the New York State Kickboxing and the National Full Contact championships were won by him. Greg is also a sports Psychologist. He is of the opinion that the mind possesses a tremendous deal of influence over everything we do, and he includes this idea into his lessons to convey this message.
Greg has trained, and continues to train, amateur and professional Muay Thai champions, as well as boxing champions, amateur Golden Gloves champions, white collar boxers, and celebrities. In addition, Greg has trained boxing champions (e.g., Hilary Swank, Andrea Leon, Florina Petcu, and Caleb Steinmeyer.)
Greg wants to provide you the opportunity to learn the “Sweetest Science,” which combines Muay Thai Kickboxing, Boxing, and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). It’s possible, but not guaranteed, that it will become an addiction for you, in which case the outcomes will be tremendously positive.
