The REAL story of Muay Thai in NYC. 

Kru Rob Rogan is the man! He was always kind and informative to me and was always companionate with his approach to training! Square Circle is a very safe space to train, and boy do you train!

The man! Amazing coach, amazing mentor.

My kru was a pro in NYC from 2001-2008 and I love to hear his brain get picked like this

20 years ago in NYC, all of the school's were teaching without elbows. So that is the only difference today. School's today in NYC have more focus on traditional muay thai, elbows, foot sweeps, push kicks and clinch work. Back then it was more about low kicks, punching, and combinations. Aziz is the best example, he was teaching straight up Dutch muay thai and Tae kwon do. Now he is teaching mainly traditional muay thai.

Muay Thai was indeed more developed 20 years ago in Canada than the US. Ajahn Suchart brought it to Ontario all the way back in the 80s.

I'm very grateful to live in NYC. I'm minutes away from Sitan in Astoria, best gyms in the USA to train Muay Thai.

Ayyy its Kru Rogan, he was very nice to me when it was my first session.

Cool video! It’s fun to learn the history / lineage of martial arts gyms
