TESTIMONIALS Before After September 2009-April 2010: In 7 months Kenny lost 51 lbs of fat, is now ripped, and has a 1-0 amateur MMA record. Kenny is a hard worker, a leader, a motivator, and a great friend. He will never quit at anything, no matter how hard it gets and will be the first one to offer a hand if you ever need anything. -Mike I have done martial arts over the past six years, starting with Tae Kwon Do and kickboxing, then some Jiu Jitsu, before starting with Team Howell. The best part about Mike is that he works with what you have and doesn't let you settle. If you are beginner, he will get you rolling better than anyone can, if you are already advanced, he will continue to push you and correct your flaws. Mike has personally shown me that no matter what level I am at, I can always get better, I can always do something a little cleaner or a little faster. I am in the best shape I have ever been in, and have never been more confident in my MMA skills, and I know Mike will only continue to make me better, to get me to a level I didn't think I could achieve. There is never a boring or redundant day over at Team Howell"! -Bobby Riley "I have been training Mixed Martial Arts for the last 10 years of my life. I initially came to Mike to help me establish a stand up striking game and have since adopted him as my full time MMA coach. Mike has led me to victories in my last three fights in my 6-0 ultimate fighting record. I find the perfect balance of stand up striking, ground work, and cardio at Team Howell. Mike follows a strict regime of training and accepts nothing but the best from everyone. I have trained all over the country with different professional fight teams. I find that Team Howell has been able to bring out the best in me of anywhere I have been. Team Howell has all the resources I look for to help me maintain my undefeated cage figthing career." "Here's my testimonial brother,
Fact: Team Howell MMA changed my life forever. Every since my deployment in Iraq I had been wanting to get involved in MMA and luckily I found this gym not to far from Fort McCoy, WI. Back in Late August of 2009 I made the decision to give Team Howell MMA a try. It was during a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu seminar with Mario Roberto on a Sunday. I have been a faithful and thankful member of the gym every since. From the moment I walked in the gym and met Mike, I knew that this is where I needed to be in order to get the results I wanted. Everyone in the gym is looking to get better and we all help each other out. There are no egos at this gym; no one looks down on anyone at the gym. That is not tolerated at all. Thanks to Mike and other members of the gym, I have totally transformed as a person. My confidence is sky high, and it’s because of the work that I put in with the gym. Initially I was 208lbs in September 2009, as of April 9th 2010 I was down to 157lbs. I am stronger, faster, and most of all, better looking than ever! Thanks to Mike's coaching and everyday advice, not only was I able to lose weight, but he has also helped me become an amateur MMA fighter, and win my first bout in April. Anything is possible, and as long as you're ready to put in the work, Team Howell can and will help you achieve whatever goal it is you have set. I've came along way since I've joined the gym and I'm still working hard because I want to be the best and achieve absolute greatness. I can guarantee you that there is no better gym in
"I've been in the martial arts for 18 years, I considered myself to be in good shape and wanted to compete in a full contact event. A friend who had already competed told me I wasn't ready. He said, "You need to get to Winona and train with Mike." He was right, this is unlike anything I've ever done before. If your looking to push your physical and mental abilities to their full capability you also need to get to Winona and train with Mike. In my first 4 months I lost over 20 pounds, I've gained muscle and can with out a doubt say I'm in the best shape of my life. Like Mike said, everyone checks their ego at the door, doesn't matter if you've never had a fight or if your undefeated in the cage. All the guys help each other, we're all there for the same reasons, working for the same goals. I've been looking for this kind of gym for years, I would recommend it for anyone looking to be a fighter, or get into great shape."

Honesty, patience, experience. For most of us these words are inundated into our daily lives. Fortunately for those who train at Team Howell these words are fully appreciated. Mike Howell has transformed the way I view mixed martial arts. The experience and knowledge that Mike passes to those that train in his gym is priceless. If you push yourself it will only be met with encouragement and motivation. Everyone has had an off day at the gym, or time that you just have to fight to get out of bed. if you can get yourself to Team Howell's gym there is a family waiting for you accepting and motivating you. No mater what your experience level YOU WILL GET BETTER. Team Howell's gym is a place where ego's are left at the door and no one walks around with puffed out chests. Everyone who trains here is there for one thing. To better yourself."
