I Lost 110 LBS!

“This is the best shape that I have ever been in…”

When I first started at Nak Muay Gym I weighed about 350 lbs. I wanted to change that. I lost 110 lbs ! This is the best shape that I have ever been in my whole life and my overall life style is healthier now. My experience training at Nak Muay has been amazing. The people at the academy slowly become your second family. The instructors are great at what they do and they really care about their students. They make sure to observe each student individually and help them out. My future goals are to lose a little more weight and become a lean mean fighting machine. I also want to help others who have been in my shoes in the past.

“I was really looking for high quality instruction…”

“MMA has been my favorite sport since I was 16 and I always wanted to give it a try. I found a few different schools, one I had briefly trained at previously and it was not a great experience for me. I chose Nak Muay Gym because I was really looking for high quality instruction. I have gained some great friends and right now I am in the best shape I have been in since high school. My goals for the future are to become an mma fighter and an instructor as well. I would love the opportunity to teach up and comers as I have been taught. I want to help others evolve and learn as my coaches have done for me.”

“The reason I stayed was because of the teachers…”

As I was turning 40 years old, I found it harder to get much out of just going to the gym. As a big fan of mixed martial arts, I wanted to learn a striking art that had both a martial arts tradition and real world application. The Muay Thai program at Nak Muay Gym was the perfect choice.
I first chose Nak Muay because of the convenient location, the quality facilities, and the variety of martial arts offered, ( real kickboxing classes , Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and Muay Thai). The reason I stayed is because of the teachers. Knowing that most of them actually compete was a big plus. Additionally, their approach to instruction makes everyone feel comfortable as they carefully guide students through techniques with an attitude that is both serious and welcoming.

“Since training at Nak Muay Gym, I lost 60 lbs…”

Looking for a quality gym was difficult. Other then franchise gyms and the random half baked gyms that popped up during the UFC boom, my only options for quality training were hours away. Through a friends recommendation I looked into Nak Muay Gym.  It’s Perfect!  I can learn Muay Thai from Kru Eric Karner who has fought and trained in Thailand. I have recently added Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to my routine under the tutelage of Professor Tim Carpenter and have fallen in love with the sport as well.  Nak Muay’s staff is great!  I am being trained by accomplished fighters who are well versed in their sport. Since training here, I have lost over 60lbs and looking to lose another 25lbs! Nak Muay Gym is really great and I’m not just saying that. I am in the best shape of my life and I am having fun learning Muay Thai and Jiu-Jitsu while doing so. And when I get to my goal weight and with my coaches recommendation I would love to compete, being it on the mat, in the ring or in the cage.

So much camaraderie!

“I love the lines my muscles get…”

“Nak Muay’s kickboxing is the best! I’m never able to work up a sweat like that on my own (think, shirt wringing kind of sweat … it’s great!), and I love the ‘lines’ my muscles get in such a short amount of time. I love that I’m learning technique, not just exercising, and that every class is a challenge. The people make the experience even better … so much support and camaraderie!”

“a greater sense of my own abilities to exceed my previous limitations…”

I was looking for a well-rounded program to provide me with improved cardiovascular health, efficient self-defense skills, and good coaching, preferably close to my home. Until I settled on WorldMMA, I found some other gyms that seemed to offer some of what I was looking for, but they were either not the type of martial art I thought was best for me, or they were in a poor geographic location. I chose Nak Muay Gym for several reasons. A friend/co-worker of mine had already trained in MMA and highly recommended Muay Thai. I was very impressed with how informative, courteous, and encouraging the staff members were. Since joining 2 years ago, I have achieved multiple positive results. Among them the acquisition of a very effective self-defense system, greatly improved cardiovascular health, better self-esteem, strong motivation to continue training and improve on a regular basis. I also have the privilege of studying with coaches who are established, talented professionals in the world of mixed martial arts. I have also made many new friends! The benefits are a greater sense of my own abilities to exceed my previous limitations, a general better sense of well being, and the spirit of camaraderie from being part of a positive, energetic group of athletes. Training at Nak Muay Gym has been one of the most positive experiences of my life, and has certainly exceeded my expectations. I plan to continue my training with the goals of learning more techniques, improving my skills, and possibly one day actually competing in amateur fights.
