Hi im new to this forum and have been studying kung fu/wushu off and on.I would like to give muay thai a try out because of the lack of sparring practice i get from kung fu, but i havent had any luck finding gyms that teach locally in portland

chalambok

It's in Delta Park next door to A Place To Shoot. Phone # (daytime) is 503-283-1995 for the instructor, Khru Jeremy Wijers. If his class hours/schedule are not convenient for you, he is more than willing to turn you on to 2 other of Master Chai's senior instructors who teach a more casual scenario.

NOPE. There is only 1 licensed instructor of both Muay Thai Boran & Muay Kacheuk in Portland, Oregon, and that is me. I teach these ONLY to very select students, and any other person in this area who claims to teach either of these arts is not known to the Thai Boxing Association of the United States, the Krabi-Krabong Associaton of the United States, the United States Muay Thai Association, nor any other recognized/legitimate Thai Martial Arts Association. Both of these arts are traditionally taught within a Krabi-Krabong curriculum, and very, very rarely are they taught elsewise. I personally have never met, nor have I ever heard of anyone outside of certain provinces in Thailand, who learned Muay Kacheuk or Muay Thai Boran without being affiliated with the Buddhai Sawan Swordfighting Institute of Ayuthaya, either themselves or through their instructors. To those people in Portland claiming to teach these arts, Ajarn Daniel Inosanto, President of the Krabi-Krabong Association of the United States, will be in Portland the weekend of September 24-25, teaching a seminar at the Portland Branch of the Thai Boxing Association of the United States for the PNW Region Representative, Professor Leonard Trigg: I invite you to show up and demonstrate your abilities. Oh yes, bring your certifications.

Chalambock is right. No Muay Thai at Straightblast gym. We have our own version of kickboxing that borrows heavily from MT, but we don't teach it as an art per se. For pure muay thai go see chalambok.
