West Londons Muay Thai & Muay Boran Academy

"I've trained in Muay Thai in a few clubs up and down the UK and even abroad for several years, honestly, the energy, discipline, focus and still somehow fun Kru Lionheart brings to his classes is almost unparalleled. A great teacher who knows how to create the right atmosphere for a class that pushes you to be your best, whilst at the same time creating a team spirit. Often the end of classes results in the students sitting and talking to Kru more, even over dinner, gaining knowledge and understanding more about the beautiful art and culture of Muay Thai.

I would recommend his class to new and experienced martial artists, those looking to get fit, becoming stronger and those wanting to compete. As a teacher, Kru doesn't stop developing himself and is always happy to impart his learnings to students including. To summarise, his classes have put me in great shape and got me feeling better and stronger than I have in a long time, so I would recommend a visit. Thank you, Kru Lionheart!"

"Kru Lionheart is an Incredible Muay Thai teacher, part of Muay Thai Masters Academy. His teaching style is authentic and incorporates Qi Gong, Tai Chi, Yoga, and Muay Boran. It’s the most authentic experience you could find in comparison to the commercialised version found elsewhere. He teaches using Thai words for Muay Thai weapons, Thai numbers etc and it’s just an incredible experience. I’ve been his student since early 2017 and loved the art form since.

Good to sharpen the mind and your physical health and have something to focus on. Kru Lionheart also offered classes, a therapeutic service for the North Kensington-impacted Grenfell community after the Grenfell fire. His classes support my mental health a lot, and keep me focused, present and grounded. Definitely worth your time to attend his classes and be his student, it’s a holistic experience. Kapunka"

"I have been training with Kru LionHeart for 5/6 years now and the education of Muay Thai is as close to (almost identical) to the education of Muay Thai I’ve received in Thailand too. The training taught me to sharpen my mind, and knowledge and connect to my spiritual self to overcome challenges, roadblocks and obstacles both in Muay Thai and outside of it.

I have trained at other gyms and I’m not one to talk negatively about them as people have different styles and interpretations of Muay Thai but, there is a clear difference in quality with the way Kru Lion coaches, pays attention to detail, is assertive with advice and demonstrations and adapts to the needs of the class. Wherever I go, I have taken the MTMA and Kru Lion teachings with me and I continue to learn and develop from them." 

"I've been training with Kru Lionheart since 2016, and it has been an amazing experience. His classes are very technical and offer a unique, holistic approach to Muay Thai. This gym is great for students of all skill levels, from beginners to advanced. I highly recommend his classes to anyone looking to learn Muay Thai in a supportive and friendly environment." 

"Kru Lionheart’s Muay Thai classes go beyond self-defence and fitness. The Muay Thai classes are authentic (in terms of the fighting art), and improve your fitness, confidence, and overall well-being. There is always room to push yourself (and this is highly encouraged), and having trained for a few years, I was also trained for inter-club bouts in the MTMA Academy.

If you’re looking for a Muay Thai class that delivers on physical intensity, a strong sense of community and growth (inside and outside the gym), I cannot recommend Kru Lionheart’s classes enough!"
