Krusader 2018

2017 was a great year for us, as not only did we win a southern area title, under the Iska banner. It was won by our very own Hadley peacock, who is just 9 years old. Our young street warriors are going from strength to strength, and I am sure we will have an English or British title this time in 2018.

This year we also gained Kru instructor level under the great Grand master Toddy and the MTIA, Muay Thai international association. This grade was also accredited by the government of Thailand.

As for myself, grand master Kru Keith Gray, I have achieved the ranks of 8th dan in kempo,5th dan in Shotokan, grand master with the world kickboxing association, and of course Kru instructor under the great master toddy.

We at Krusader believe that in order to advance and learn more skills, even as grand masters we have to invite champions to our gym as guests This is why in the past we have had the pleasure of training with Ramon the diamond dekkers , Ronnie Green, Lee Coville and Andy Thomson from Lanna Muay Thai, Leigh Edlin, and last but not least our very own Daniel mc Gowan.

Here at Krusader, we have a great system that allows us to help any new students get fast tracked straight to the top of there potential. We offer a private lesson with one of the grand masters, which will allow us to place each individual in to the best classes for the ability, and also help them achieve there unlimited goals. Whether they want to become a champion, a black belt, a Kru or are just interested in getting fit and having a shed load of confidence.

If you are interested in martial arts and want to get fit in an buzzing friendly environment, then look no further.
As most adverts say no time wasters please. Sawadee kup. Please call Keith on 07951014140, for any other information, look forward to helping you change your life for ever.

Our history

Training is my lifestyle choice, it is not my hobbie or a business but how I choose to live.

I have trained with the best marital artists, the best people and learnt just as much about friendship and family as I have about martial arts.

Without the influence of grand master Paul bowman I would not be where I am today, he saved me, so I try to give that back to others.

Through martial arts I have seen so many countries, cultures and made many good friends along the way.

Some of the best memories I have are at the DKI training camp, if you get the opportunity, GO- its a family away from home.

There are so many styles of martial arts out there- why limit yourself to one? Explore, learn what's right for you and also what sort of person you want to be.

Special thank you to ......
