Lagangs Martial Arts

Yesterday evening, I paid a trip to visit a few good friends that just opened up their Martial Arts and Fitness center. Located in Antioch, CA. Lagangs Martial Arts and Fitness center is not your typical Dojo. There are a number of training sessions offered: Kajukenbo, Kickboxing, Circuit Training, and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). Owners Allan and Shannan Lagang have not only paid homage to the sport and culture, but more importantly have a passion for educating students from all ages and all nationalities. Through Sifu Allan's act of studying the art and knowledge from years of discipline and training, he has been able to successfully help his students with the skills to become self-confident and most of all, able to defend oneself.

I must say, I'm extremely proud of this young couple that also have 3 little boys. They've come along way to open up this center. I could recall when I used to train with Allan in his garage at his home. From being in a 3 car garage with mats to a full blown 2600 sq. ft. Dojo that is encompassed by an ample amount of heavy bags and rack of weights as well as some cardio equipment, climbing ropes, mats and not to mention an overwhelming fight ring in the middle, I'm confident that Lagangs Martial Arts Fitness center is here to stay...for a long time! Good Luck to you both! Bastard & Friends wishes you the very best! Just let me know ahead of time when Tapout pays a trip to you guys!

The center is open Mon. - Thurs. from 6pm-9pm and is located at 311 Sunset Drive Suite D Antioch, CA 94531.

Sifu Allan's Achievements over the years (unfortunately, my camera wouldn't fit all of his million+ trophies he's obtained over the years). Hopefully, this will do.
