8Tribe Is a family I’m proud to form part of I trained with Ronnie for three years because I wanted to learn how to do proper striking and not only did. I found that I was able to become proficient quite soon, but I was even able to sign up for my first competition soon after I truly enjoyed his highly experienced coaching style as Ronnie has an extensive background And amazing history The classes are very well adapted to everyone’s pace and he’s able to cater directly with subtlety and ease! The best shape I have ever been in! And now I enter rooms with a completely different aura!

I am coming off one of the hardest chapters of my life and this was a first for me I needed to escape and feel some type of believe in myself. Not only were the other people patient but they helped and ronnie is an absolute mastermind after traveling the world to perfect his craft. Whether you are a pro or a beginner you need to come check 8 tribe out!

Ronnie is hands down the best muay thai coach around. He's got years of fighting and coaching experience as well as passion to pass on everything he's learned to others. From completely new to seasoned fighters there's a program for you. I've known and trained with Ronnie and 8 Tribe since 2015 and I am constantly impressed by his program. Training is always highly professional, very personable, and the environment is lively and friendly during every class. Class sizes vary, but even at the most busy there's a good amount of personal attention given to each person training. The private lessons range from highly technical to brutal workouts and are also fantastic. The dedication to safely training is also very prominent be it during pad work, bag work, or hard sparring. I wouldn't want to train with any other coach.
