JEAN CHANCY

OWNER – SOCAL STRIKING

I moved to San Diego back in the summer of 2015 from NYC. One of the first things on my list of priorities was to find a good Muay Thai coach/instructor. I hopped around a few gyms, some good, some not so good and I just couldn’t find the right fit.

Fast forward to 2018, and I had finally found what I was looking for. I had met Ronnie the year prior, but was already training somewhere else and didn’t want to give up on that gym, but I just didn’t feel like I was getting anywhere there, so I came to Ronnie and in a few short words explained my goals and we started training a few days later.

Ronnie’s attention to detail is second to none, and he was able to help me unlock codes that I had been unable to crack. In 9 months I’ve noticed growth not only technically, but also more so strategically. I’m a student of the game and it is very rare that Ronnie sends me home with nothing to think about or write in my notepad.

I’ve been training for 12 years, and throughout my journey I’ve had periods of plateaus where I felt nothing was happening and periods where all sorts of answers seem to be falling from the sky, Ronnie has helped me answer many, and I now have a new set of problems that I look forward to solving with him. Thanks, Ronnie.

FORMER THAI FIGHTER

It has taken me several years to find a coach like Ronnie Najjar. I was looking for a gym where I can learn to fight and compete. I have seen Ronnie over and over again train people who have just walked into the gym and prepare them for competition. He focuses on the little details that make a huge difference in making the technique effective.

I learn something new from him every session or he corrects my small mistakes to improve my skills. The culture of the gym is perfect, everyone is serious about mastering Muay Thai but is close like a family. If you are serious about learning authentic Muay Thai I can’t recommend 8Tribe enough.
