I come here since years and I can highly recommend Kru Run for Private classes.… read more He looks very closely at your technique and gives a lot of valuable insight. I am thinking of fighting for the first time and want to have him in my corner. The whole team is friendly and funny.

December 16, 2018Very clean gym, owned by arguably the greatest Nak Muay ever. I showed up with… read more my 13 year old son and we were greeted by a sweet older lady who offered us snacks and bananas while we waited for the class to begin. We attended a class with Kru Samarts trainers: Adahm (not sure if that’s how he spells it), Yo and Linglompup. There was one other older trainer but we didn’t get his name unfortunately. Great guys who pushed us to keep going and gave us feedback throughout the session about how we could improve. It was an amazing experience. Kru Samart wasn’t there unfortunately but hopefully we will be back in Thailand one day and we can visit them again! My son and I will definitely remember that experience forever and utilize what they taught us when we train back home.
