I used to do muay thai pretty regularly but not as much these days due to being a tennis mom now 😆 but I still like to kick a bag when I see one. You will get in excellent shape and learn great technique working with Cyrus. I cant quite kick like I used to do in the classes, but I can at least do a few reps lol!

Coach Cyrus is one of the best coaches and people I have had the pleasure of meeting and training with. His attention technique and detail accelerated my skills in the ring and in life. He shares his knowledge in a way that helps you expand your mindset. For being as decorated of a martial artist as he is he never makes you feel inferior or incapable while helping you push your own limits. When you train with him you get a coach, teacher and friend(along with a nutritionist), I wouldn't want to have anyone else in my corner.

Coach Cyrus was my coach for about a year to a year and a half. He's an awesome coach! Tough but straight forward with you. Great explanations and details on the techniques. I became a better fighter because of his teachings. He will make you better. Level up your game by training with a World Champion. 😁🙏🏼

I've been interested in Muay Thai since I was a kid, now I'm 46, and contacted Mr Washington to get this started finally. It has been such an amazing experience, and I am 100% hooked and committed twice a week doing private sessions. Mr Washington is a fantastic person, teacher and mentor and I encourage anyone interested in the arts to come here. I intend to keep this going for years to come..

I have known Cyrus Washington for going on 17 years now. We have trained and worked together at the same gym in Thailand for many years, and I have met few individuals more dedicated to their craft than Cyrus. A true martial artist! If you want top tier instruction by someone who has lived, breathed and bled for their knowledge and mastery of the Martial Arts, then look no further than Cyrus ‘Black Dynamite’ Washington
