BIO
Muay Thai doesn’t change who you are; it just reveals the strong, confident person who was there all along
Kru Genie’s teaching philosophy comes directly from her own life: Muay Thai is for everyone, and it is one of the most empowering gifts you can give yourself.
She first walked into a gym in 2011 as a single mother. She wasn’t looking to become a fighter; she was looking for a community, a way to feel strong, and the ability to protect herself and her young daughter. She found all three and in the process, she discovered a passion for teaching and a calling to create the same safe, empowering space for others.
Since 2012, Kru Genie has dedicated herself to building programs for students who thrive in a community-focused environment. Her joy comes from teaching the fundamentals and watching students discover their own power. She shows them that it doesn’t matter where you start, whether you can do zero pushups or ten, all that matters is your willingness to learn.
She is the architect of the gym’s specialized programs for women and children.

Currently Coaches
This is Kru Genie’s passion project. As a female Kru, she understands that many women need a dedicated space to train in an inviting, “feminine energy area” where they can release stress, build real strength, and empower themselves, all while knowing they can still go home and be the mothers, professionals, and women they are the next day.
Kru Genie created this program to give young girls their own space to feel confident and accept their growing bodies during the challenging years of puberty. She gives them the tools to build unshakeable self-belief, graduating students who can confidently perform the Wai Kru on stage and who are now being raised as the next generation of leaders.
