My Interests

You can do anything for three minutes."The mental aspect of fight training, even for non-fighters, is based on that three-minute round. Most of a typical Thai boxing workout is focused on the fight bell, which goes off every three minutes, indicating a new round has begun. Realizing that no matter how tired you are, you can last for three minutes puts an intense workout into perspective.
"Anybody can fight fresh; you also have to learn how to fight when mentally and physically tired as well as in pain." says Craig Lamanna, owner and head trainer at MTIK.

Whether you're a fighter planning to compete on the amateur or professional level, or whether you're an individual simply looking for a non-traditional workout, the training you will receive at the Muay Thai Institute of Kunponli will give you the best overall workout available. From serious toning to increased endurance to a fight mentality, Thai boxing will get you where you want to go, both physically and mentally. In addition to the intense, full-body workout, you also get self-defense skills that can be applied to real-world situations very quickly.

Craig "Dr. Psycho" Lamana has been involved in Thai boxing for 19 years as both a Thai fighter and a Thai instructor. He also holds a 1st degree black belt in the Okinawan arts...

Long time students of MTIK often graduate to having senior student status IF they can pass the difficult and grueling SHORTS test.This test designed by master instructors Sakasem Kanthawong and Craig Lamanna, tests students with among other things, a 3 mile run, 30 straight minutes of heavy bag work, and 5 increasingly difficult rounds showing their technique against senior instructors in the ring.Passing this test is the Muay Thai equivilent of recieving a black belt.

Craig Lamanna teaches a very aggressive style of knife fighting. "This is not just about cutting somebody up." In this non-traditional knife class, Craig teaches you the steps to take before using a knife, the use of a knife defensively, and the legalities of carrying and using a knife.
