Muay Thai in Red Deer Ab ?

[rise101]

I just moved to red deer alberta and am looking for a gym. Anyone know of a muay thai gym in Red Deer?

I don't know which gym he fights out of, but Jason MacDonald, who is fighting Ed Herman tomorrow night, trains out of Red Deer (I know it says Edmonton when you look up his profile, but he's from Red Deer).

There's at least 1 MMA school there---how much emphasis they place on MT, though, I'm not sure. Look up a few places in the yellow pages, check 'em out, and inquire about other schools.

In Red Deer I know that Lyle Cheney teaches a Muay Thai class out of Cheney's Zen Karate I believe it's called, I know that he has a black belt in Zen Karate and Taekwondo along with being a western canadian kickboxing champion, not to sure what he has done im Muay Thai though. The Arashi Do school in Red Deer may also do it. Hope this helps

With Jason Macdonald I have no idea where he trains although in the Red Deer paper there was an article in it about him and it said he travelled to Calgary and Edmonton alot to recieve training.

Jason MacDonald teaches a good MMA class, but not so good if you are looking for strictly Muay Thai.
Lyle Cheney has a good one: Cheney's Zen Karate and Kickboxing
Also there is Mike Purnell at 7 Stars Praying Mantis
And Gary Vig who teaches a good Muay Thai class at the same gym as Jason MacDonald

I'm not too sure about Cheney's times or pricing, but I'm sure it is fairly similar to these
Seven Stars - Tuesday/Thursday 7-8:30 (saturday open workout 9-1) $120/month
Arashi Do - Monday/Wednesday 8-10, Friday (open mat) 6:30-8, Saturday 2-4 (open mat) $100-120/month depending on amount of days

Good luck!

Can you do MT with hockey skates on? Ha ha. I played pro hockey before this career and there were a lot of guys from Red Deer and that area I played with and against. Between Calgary and Edmonton there must be something.

Ok Guys. Enough of this. If you really want to learn how to smash faces in Red Deer only one guy knows it all. Master Gil Lafantaisie. phone 403-755-7594. This guy is a striking genious. He holds world titles in whole buncha stuff including all the "Dans" a guy needs to be lethal. The good thing about this guy is he didn't come from some pussy easy upbringing. He is a true streetwise guy that took it to the next level and then some. Everybody I know comes to this guy for striking advice, including Jason MacDonald(although he probably wouldn't admit it). The Studio's name is Black Dragon Mixed Martial Arts in Red Deer. You won't be disappointed.
