The Journey of Kru Garry: From Student to Muay Thai Coach

A Passion Ignited

For Kru Garry, Muay Thai wasn’t just another sport—it was a challenge that captivated him from day one. His first class wasn’t easy; he struggled with his stance, couldn’t skip properly, and even found the warm-up daunting. But instead of being discouraged, he saw it as a test of his determination.

“I just wanted to finish the warm-up first,” he recalls. That drive pushed him to keep training, improving with every session. Over the years, countless hours of training, sweat, blood, and tears transformed him from a beginner into a fighter and, eventually, a coach.

What Makes Muay Thai Unique?

Muay Thai stands apart from other martial arts due to its use of all eight limbs—the fists, elbows, knees, and shins—making it one of the most dynamic and effective striking arts. Beyond just powerful techniques, it emphasizes stance, angles, defense, and endurance.

“Add in the cardio aspect,” Kru Garry says, “and you can’t get anything better.” The combination of strength, skill, and conditioning makes Muay Thai an exceptional choice for students looking to improve both their fitness and self-defence skills.

Advice for Beginners

Starting Muay Thai can feel intimidating, but Kru Garry encourages newcomers to embrace the journey.

“You’re learning a martial art that not only teaches you how to defend yourself but also gives you the best cardio and conditioning you could ask for,” he explains.

For anyone considering Muay Thai, the key is simple—take that first step, and let the training shape you into a stronger, more confident version of yourself.
