Congratulations to Stacy Grant for being awarded the title of Kru Muay under Master Toddy this past weekend. Kru is the title for “Teacher’ in Muay Thai, and no one embodies that title more than Kru Stacy. As the first pro female MMA fighter in Virginia and and active Muay Thai fighter and coach, Stacy has motivated and inspired our entire team of fighting females (and males for that matter.) Kru Stacy (alongside Kru Buck Grant) has taken an all female team of thai fighters twice in the past few years to fight Muay Thai in Vegas. Our team competed impressively against the West Coast’s best female amateur fighters at Master Toddy’s “Fight Girls” events, largely due to Kru Stacy’s coaching and mentoring.
Kru Stacy is one of a very few female Kru’s under Master Toddy. Stacy (along with her husband Kru Buck) have been asked to accompany Master Toddy to Thailand in December to showcase her Thai Pad holding skills and to train with some of the best Thai born coaches in the world.
Following her footsteps, congratulations are also in order for our new Assistant Krus, Chase Walden, Kim Smith, Phillip Wyman, and Jose Roman. All instructors have been mentoring under Kru Buck for years before they embarked on the instructor course this past Sunday and Monday. Over 24 hours of training was logged in the course of this weekend, directly under the expert eye of Master Toddy.
Also occuring this weekend was a phenomenal Fighter Course and All Levels Training Session. nearly 40 students attended the 6 hours of training. Instructors form local schools such as Bushido MMA, IMPACT Martial Arts, and Team Agguire Mua Thai, were also in attendance to train with a Muay Thai legend.
Continuously raising the gold standard of Muay Thai on the East Coast has been Kru Buck’s passion for over 15 years. He continues to do so by sharing the knowledge of his Grand Master with his top students and teachers.
Come learn REAL Muay Thai from certified instructors and champions at the Hybrid Training Center!
