Testimonials

Muay Thai was a way for me to get out of my comfort zone and learn about myself. I'm constantly challenged to become a better version of myself. I've gained a family here.

Jonathon, Student

I train in Muay Thai with my partner; it's a great way for us to connect while getting an awesome workout. Also, I love working on my strong fearless female persona!

Dinah, Student

I love Muay Thai; it saved my life. Kru has been a father figure to me, a mentor and a great friend. I wouldn't train with anyone else.

Jeremy, Student

I not only do it for the obvious reasons (I'm a guy and like to punch and kick things, stay in shape, learn self defense, etc.), but also for the bonding experience between my daughter and me. We absolutely love it. Awesome Muay Thai family here!

Chris F, Student

Absolutely the most efficient striking art I have found. Beautifully simple and devastatingly effective when applied properly, Muay Thai should be a fundamental component in any martial artist's toolkit.

Melbourne, Student

I've done Muay Thai since I was four. After taking a long break, I'm picking it back up because it's something I can do with my dad.

Nathan, Student

16 years ago, Kru Smith introduced me to the art of Muay Thai and I never looked back. He is a wonderful teacher and a tremendous friend. You can't go wrong training with him!
