Known for his technical excellence, discipline, and humble leadership, Kru Naruepol brings authentic Muay Thai directly from Thailand to Tucson.
He began training at just seven years old at Sakhomsin Gym in Bangkok and had his first professional fight only three months later—winning by first-round knockout. By age fifteen, he was fighting at the world-renowned Rajadamnern Stadium, and soon after became a regular competitor at both Rajadamnern and Lumpinee Stadium.
Over the course of his career, he earned multiple major titles, including:
- Lumpinee Stadium Super-Lightweight Champion
- Thailand Super-Lightweight Champion
- Thailand Welterweight Champion
- IKF Pro Full Rules World Champion
- Triumphant World Champion
With over 230 professional fights and more than 180 wins, Kru Naruepol’s experience places him among the elite Muay Thai athletes in the world.
He was also featured on the international reality series The Contender Asia and later coached and taught throughout Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, France, Italy, and the United States.
After years of coaching in California and competing internationally, Kru Naruepol brought his experience to Tucson to build a true Muay Thai program focused on authentic instruction, strong values, and long-term development.
His mission is simple: help students of all ages become stronger—in the gym and in life.
