MSA Hammersmith Muay Thai
about us
Our Chief Instructor, Kru Cory Smith, began his Muay Thai training journey in the Summer of 1999 at MSA Krisana Muay Thai in Stonebridge, North-West London, under the instruction of Kru Lassel Gayle, Kru Noel Gayle and Kru Bryan Anderson. At krisana, Kru Cory quickly discovered the transformative power and enlightening possibilities of Grandmaster Sken’s philosophy of Muay Thai Martial Arts.
Kru Cory, an avid student of personal development and a life-changing experience working with Tony Robbins and Blair Singer peak performance coaches, helped to re-ignite Kru Cory’s dream of running his own Muay Thai Martial Arts Academy. In January 2024, after 4 years of incredibly difficult training and studying with Grandmaster Sken, Kru Cory co-founded MSA Hammersmith Muay Thai.
