New Summer Class

Welcome everyone to the summer Muay Thai class! Over the next few months (and more if you keep signing up) we will work hard, train hard, and make huge gains in ability and confidence. Please check in on this blog often (this is the bulletin board for the class).

Starting this next week 7/13, I will be available during the intermediate class to start working with those interested in training toward self-defense application versus sport/competitive focus. While the training styles, methods, and intensity are very similar, the psychology, the targets, and the outcomes are very different.

Please feel free to talk to me about your particular needs and interests and good luck, train hard, and NEVER give-in. E-mail, blog, or call me (951-445-2993).

The return of Kru DJ

For those of you still checking this blog...hope all is going well.

I AM COMING BACK! See you all for the next classes (Summer) and hopefully in the new offerings in the fall (CQC Muay Thai/self defense and Nelson's class for Muay Thai Ringfighters).

Train hard!

You guys KICK ass!

Great effort everyone, you have really shown incredible improvement...now don't let it all slip away! I will post some workout routines to do over the next few weeks before classes start again (DO NOT SIT AROUND AND SLACK OFF FOR A MONTH!). You should also get together with Nelson and train and spar (start to apply what you are learning...this is a whole different thing when you try using it on someone who doesn't let you hit them...and Nelson probably won't let you hit him without earning it).

I will see you on the 6th...however...I am leaving for the next 2 years to finish grad school, so you will be training under Nelson after that (you are in good hands). I have enjoyed training with all of you and hope to see you still training in Muay Thai when I return (but please keep in touch)
