Muhammad Ali | Kru Assistant
Boxing flows through Muhammad Ali’s veins. Ali picked up his first boxing gloves at age 15, where he followed his father’s footsteps. Through the years of training with Kru Laura Vuculescu Ali developed into a powerful, fast and talented fighter. Ali is respected by his peers. No task is ever too overwhelming for him to successfully complete. He is not afraid of hard work, and thrives when challenged. Ali’s deduction and heart separates him apart from the rest. He enjoys teaching new students the fundamentals as well as sparing with his teammates for upcoming events. The great one will tell you himself Muay Thai/Kickboxing has become a very big part of his life.
Beginner classes taught by Muhammad Ali.
