I've trained for about 6 years now in various Muay-Thai, MMA, boxing and Jiu-Jitsu clubs in both Canada and Thailand.  The training I recieved from Darren was invaluable, and helped in all aspects of my approach to training and combat, both competitive and casual.  He provides a straight-forward, realistic and hands-on instructional style with an emphasis on the most critical, practical and effective techniques applicable to a wide range of situations.  His depth of knowledge, breadth of training experience and honest approach to everything he says and does enhance the quality of each lesson.  His training ranks among the best and most rewarding training I've ever had!
