Hook Up Muay Thai Boxing literally changed my life. After years on the road with a rock band,…read moreeating bar food and drinking, and living an extremely unhealthy lifestyle in many ways, I reached a point where I realized that I could either continue to get less healthy, or do something positive and improve myself. So I joined a major gym chain. Although I liked the gym, after a year, I was not achieving the results I wanted. I had met one of the instructors at Hook Up through a casual fitness kickboxing class, and he invited me to try a class at Hook Up. From the moment I walked in I was hooked. Hook Up oozes credibility. It's hidden (like some back-alley boxing club straight out of the Rocky franchise) behind a tile shop in that industrial section of the city north of Orfus road. As I stepped through the door, I was struck by creak of the bags swinging on the chain, the sound of gloves hitting pads, and the whipping of jump ropes. It was a Sunday afternoon, and the place was busy with people of all walks of life, from couples with pre-toddlers in tow, training recreationally, to competitive athletes getting ready for provincial, national, and international competition. Far from being intimidating, I found the owner/head trainer Jim (National Co-ordinator of CASK: Thai Boxing) and his wife Theodora (a national champion) to be welcoming, and they immediately set me at ease. I quickly got to know everyone there, and I was hooked! The instructors are world class, there are several national champions training there, and the club takes a whole-life approach to health and fitness. After a nutritional consult with Jim, I completely revamped my diet and began a new phase in my life. Hook Up Muay Thai Boxing is a member of the Canadian Amateur Sport Kickboxing, the governing body for the sport in Canada. That brings with it a lot of bonuses not available to members of not accredited clubs (notably access to insurance while training or sparring). It also means that if you want and are able, you can train and compete at CASK sanctioned events and even try to make the National Team! I have been a member of Hook Up now for a year and a half, and in that time, I've reached fitness and health goals I never dreamed possible for myself. I'm 34 lbs lighter than I was when I got married 3 years ago, and my energy level has never been higher. I can run farther than I ever thought I'd be able to, and I'm more confident than I've ever been. In fact, in less than two weeks I'll be fighting in my first K1 rules kickboxing tournament. And that is a LONG way from where I was as a travelling musician, believe me......

YMT isn't exactly where I started Muay Thai, but I learned most of the art from PC Ilir at York…read moreUniversity Muay Thai (YUMT), who is also one of the main instructors at YMT. The reality is that the YMT/YUMT/ Kru Yai Jen's firm approach to getting the foundations right will make you a far better fighter than people from other gyms who started around the same time as you. After two to three years of regular training at YMT, your skill level and the finesse of your movement will far surpass those of fighters from other gyms with similar experience. I spar at different gyms from time to time, and the difference in fundamentals is obvious, from footwork and handwork to kicks (especially the kicks). Krus and fighters at other gyms have often mistaken me for someone with experience in the ring, which couldn't be further from the truth The one thing I wish YMT did more is share knowledge with members who aren't on the fight team. Sure, many people are there for general wellness and conditioning, but to me, understanding flow and fight rhythm is just as important to the art as foundational movements. Some gyms let people who aren't fighters to join fight camp level classes, and they tend to produce fighters with more experience reading reactions and playing the game. Too many folks can throw a one-punch combo but can't react once they get barraged. That said, what I got from YMT and YUMT was invaluable. Even after a year and half away from training due to constant moving and many injuries, I've had no trouble shadowboxing, sparring, and training again. With the strong foundations YMT gave me, Muay Thai really is like riding a bike: the skills and the love stay with you, forever. Beyond the amazing PC Ilir, YMT has an amazing team of krus and PCs, and it produces elite competitors in MT competition. It also offers a wide range of programs, including women-only and family classes, which is always a green flag. If you're looking for a great workout and want to learn the real foundations of Muay Thai, YMT is definitely the place to go. You'll fall in love with Muay Thai, and before you know it, you'll be booking a flight to Thailand to train.
