About Me

Our InstructorsNeil is an instructor, a fighter, and a partner of the gym. Students call him "Kru Neil". He began learning Muay Thai at the age of 12 and began fighting at age 14. He won his first title belt at age 17 - the Featherweight W.K.B.A. Intercontinental Championship. In March 2004, after not fighting for 5 years, he came back and won his second title belt in the Light Heavyweight Championship for Vut Promotion. He fought one more time for Dennis Warner/In Sync Productions before going to Thailand to learn Muay Thai techniques and train with the Thai fighters there.
In October 2005, he went to Thailand again to learn more techniques and train to fight. Then again, on November 5, 2005 he fought against Luis Sid Mario at Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok, Thailand and won.
Now he trains amateur and professional fighters and anyone who wants to learn self-defense or just get in shape. He also continues to fight but is having a hard time finding an opponent who will fight him.
Rex is an instructor and partner of the gym. In Thailand they call instructors "Kru", so at the gym, students call him "Kru Rex". Born in Thailand; he has been training in Muay Thai for 40 years, amassing an impressive 131-5-24 record as a junior featherweight champion in Thailand.

He opened Muay Thai Kickboxing Gym in 1994 and continues to work daily, training amateur and professional fighters and anyone wanting to learn self-defense. Now at the age of 54 years old, it can easily be said he is one of the most experienced and dedicated instructors around.

My Interests

Muay Thai is an ancient Thai Martial Art of self-defense. It is the most effective proven method of using all parts of your body, such as fists, elbows, knees, and feet as your defending weapons.

In America Muay Thai is quietly sweeping across the country, it is growing in strength and recognition by its practitioners and competitors from many of the major martial art systems here. Many of them have tried to imitate the skills and styles of Muay Thai.

Unfortunately, there are very few real Muay Thai training gyms today.Muay Thai Kickboxing Gym is one. If you think you have what it takes to be a Muay Thai kickboxer, have the spirit for competition and the eyes on the prize, or just want to learn for self-defense, self-confidence, discipline, weight control, cardiovascular training, or overall physical fitness, then look no further.
