We’re so excited to introduce Kru Naruepon Fairtex to Carlson Gracie Tucson and feel privileged to be able to offer traditional Muay Thai classes to our students and the community.

Muay Thai is a combat sport known as the “art of eight limbs”, as it is characterized by the combined use of fists, elbow, knees, and shins. Kru started learning the art as a young boy because of being picked on by the other boys at his school. His focus and dedication propelled him forward and he has been practicing Muay Thai ever since.

Now as a highly decorated traditional Muay Thai fighter from Bangkok, Thailand with well over 200 fights and 181 known wins, Kru Naruepon is here at Carlson Gracie Tucson sharing his passion, experience, and skill.  Whether young or old, inexperienced or experienced, all students will benefit from his knowledge and expertise.
