We’re proud of Kala’s Muay Thai work ethic, strength and conditioning commitment, and nutritional transformation during fight camp. He fought hard without ever giving up and showed true Muay Thai heart. While taping Kala’s hands, he said to @kru.jace, “I need to study after the fight, Kru, I have big tests coming up”. Talk about a high-level student athlete inside and outside of the academy!

Meet Ana aka Gaby! One of our most tenured and loyal students. She has been training under @kru.jace since 2019. She uses Muay Thai to combat her depression and it is her favorite way to stay fit. She has lost 40+ pounds while having fun in class and continues pushing herself to new limits. Here at Mission, WE LOVE MUAY THAI.
