Muay Thai

Diesel Gym’s Muay Thai Team (formerly, London Sitnarong) was originally started back in 2003 by Kru Cliff Bura and under the guidance of Grandmaster Sken Kaewpadung.

Diesel Gym (a name inspired by legendary Thai fighter Dieselnoi) is an internationally renowned Muay Thai gym with a great heritage. Although born out of London’s historic “fighting East End” it is known for its traditional Muay Thai ethos and background – throughout the years the gym has employed several fighters from Thailand as coaches.  Also its home grown instructors have gained authentic international coaching awards (kru) from registered Thai Grandmasters.
