“My name is Vaughn Jones, I met Claude about a year and a half ago at work. Claude and I just connected right away and started communicating as young men would do. Right when I was having conversations with Claude I could tell Claude was an elite communicator by just the way he would listen and especially with his feedback. Claude is somebody that truly listens to someone and you feel that right away. I still to this day call Claude once a week just to have him listen and give me personal feedback because that's how great of a communicator he is and that you can always rely on him. And I wouldn't have it any other way with someone.”
"I had the privilege of working closely with Claude at an ACT-level program, where I immediately recognized his experience and dedication. With about two years more experience at the company than I had, Claude was my go-to person for navigating difficult client situations, providing invaluable clarity when I needed it most. Beyond the high-stress, fast-paced work environment, Claude has become a trusted confidant. We frequently discuss education, life, and career goals, and he is always someone I can bounce ideas off of. Furthermore, he recently went above and beyond by helping me structure my thoughts for a VA lay statement and providing crucial guidance for my claim. I highly recommend Claude —he is not only a seasoned, competent professional but a supportive friend."
"The patience, empathy, and wisdom Claude brings to people's lives make a real difference every day. I've seen how deeply he cares about helping others understand each other and grow, and that kind of compassion is rare. Anyone who works with Claude is lucky to have someone so thoughtful, steady, and sincere guiding them. I've always respected how much effort he puts into helping people understand themselves and their relationships. That kind of patience and perspective takes a lot of dedication. It says a lot about the kind of person he is.”
"Talking to Claude is refreshing, you feel listened to and like someone is genuinely interested in your story. Its hard to find and I look forward to our conversations."
“When I walked into the gym in February 2025, I was weighing 201 pounds, as someone with a solid athletic background, discipline, I had a desire to push myself further. As a former college quarterback at the university of La Verne, now full-time banker at Chase, and the head football coach at Orange Glen High School in Escondido, I know what hard work looks like. But Coach Vince took my training, and my mindset, to an entirely new level.
By April 2025, I stepped into the ring for my first fight at 158 pounds and won. Since then, I’ve fought twice in the PSBC boxing circuit, undefeated. This transformation, physical, mental, and emotional, is 100% because of Vince.
Vince didn’t just teach me how to fight. He taught me how to see punches before they come, how to place my shots with precision, and how to stay calm and focused under pressure. He breaks down the art of fighting in a way that’s clear, smart, and brutally effective. No fluff. Just discipline and a “just do it” mentality that drives you to push through.
What sets Vince apart is his incredible ability to connect with everyone, from beginners who’ve never thrown a punch, to elite fighters, kids, elderly clients, and everyone in between. He even led a fight camp for underprivileged youth at Orange Glen, providing structure, confidence, and hope. That’s the kind of leadership that transcends sport.
Beyond the gym and the ring, Vince has created lifelong friendships and built a powerful fighting community here in North County San Diego. We are JabThruLife Anti Heroes United—a brotherhood and sisterhood that will always keep going, growing stronger with his leadership. That community is his legacy.
I’ve trained at other gyms, but it’s not the same. Vince sees the fight before it happens. He trains your mind as much as your body. Because of him, I walk differently, not just because I lost nearly 50 pounds in a few months, but because I carry myself with confidence and pride, knowing I’ve put in the work.
Coach Vince is hands down the best boxing/MMA/fighting coach I’ve ever trained with. He’s a technician, a motivator, a mentor, and a true game-changer. Any gym would be lucky to have him as a general manager, not just for his skills, but for the community and culture he builds.
I am forever grateful to Coach Vince. He changed my life and built a family that will last a lifetime.”
"Coach Vince has completely changed the way I train and think about fitness. His knowledge, patience, and ability to push me beyond my limits while still making sure I train smart is unmatched. Every session feels purposeful, and I’ve seen huge improvements in my strength, technique, and overall confidence. He doesn’t just coach — he motivates, inspires, and leads by example. I’m grateful to have him in my corner."
"I've had many conversations with Claude. His personal story allows him to provide a unique and valuable insight on life and a way to connect with everyone he speaks to. He's always genuine and thoughtful. A true friend."
"Claude is the truest definition of a community leader. Countless times he's gone out of his way to make sure I was heard and included. Whether you needed harsh truths or just someone to help you out during a hard time, he was always the guy to go to."
