On Friday March 5, 2010, AJ Held, JB Glossinger, and I had the opportunity to train with Master Hung Tran and Vu Tran in Tran’s Muay Thai. I had met Master Tran through my friend, trainer, and mentor Mike Lee Kanarek, at the 5th Annual HaganaH Conference in Las Vegas, Nevada in January 2010 http://www.fight2survive.com/. I have been biting at the bit since, to experience Tran’s Muay Thai System.
The short wait was over, when the opportunity and invitation was extended to us to train at the Martial Arts University International’s Warriors Weekend 16http://www.mauinternational.com/. Master Tran was the showcase instructor for an intense workout amongst martial arts school owners from all over the country. We were fortunate to train at MAUI’s extraordinary facility, located at 5800 North Federal Highway Ft. Lauderdale, FL 33334. I would like to thank Kyoshi Steve LaVallee for his welcoming and hospitality.
Master Tran’s mix of physical fitness drills and his curriculum approach to Muay Thai made this a kickass workout session. I was definitely glad that I ate light that afternoon. He covered all the fundamentals of Tran’s Muay Thai as he tested our mind, body, and warrior spirit. I was especially excited that some of these fundamentals were put to use in pro sparring the following morning at HaganaH East with Team Scratchline. I am eager to immediately adopt these Muay Thai fundamentals into everyday drills in preparation for my next fight.
Master Tran certifies instructors to teach his system in martial art academies all across the country. For more information on instructor certifications, visit Tran’s Kickboxing website: http://www.transkickboxing.com/
John,
Awesome that you finally had the chance to train with Master Tran. I know you had a blast!
I had some guests in this week from North Carolina and Arkansas who have fought in the ring, and teach kickboxing at their schools. They were drilling me about our Muay Thai program which we implemented upon Master Tran’s suggestion the 1st of this year after a very high recommendation from Mike Lee Kanarek. I told them about Master Tran’s methodology and program.
As always with Mike’s expert suggestions, as he has never steered me wrong in the past 8 years of invaluable friendship and mentorship, we were blown away! My guests were very curious as to why I chose to be certified with Master Tran as opposed to the many other programs available. They wanted to know if it was Master Tran’s personal record, or his record with training fighters. The answer was much simpler. Master Tran had the most comprehensive curriculum which could take the most beginner to an advanced level in a short time. With Master Tran’s curriculum we’ve been able to take beginners and give them the tools to train like a fighter, stay highly motivated, with a high intensity fitness regimen, all while training safely and smart.
John, you’re gonna love the results you’ll see very quickly. Good luck and keep me updated on how the program does for you.
