The Arena’s San Diego Muay Thai / Kickboxing program is the most complete in San Diego. We offer 3 different styles of Muay Thai so we can provide our students with outstanding self-defense systems as well as sport oriented systems.
The first style is Deth Ko Sin Muay Thai, taught by Boungnaphonh Makthepharaks, better known as Kru Mark. It is his family’s system of Muay Thai passed on from father to son for 5 generations. Kru Mark is now the head instructor of this sytem. The second system is also taught by Kru Mark and is called Muay Boran, directly drawn from Thai hand-to-hand combat. The third style of Muay Thai / Kickboxing we teach is more oriented towards MMA (Mixed Martial Arts). We concentrate on techniques that work for MMA and minimize the risks when facing opponents like wrestlers, boxers, etc.
Note: Muay Thai (known as the art of 8 limbs) is a devastating fighting system allowing the use of eights points of contact, including hands, feet, elbows and knees. Like all the martial arts we teach, Muay Thai has ancient roots (see Muay Thai for more info).
