welcome to
At 8 Tribe Gym, we create an environment that is supportive and fun while also training hard. We understand that learning a skill like Muay Thai can be life–transforming and strive to inspire our members to maximize their potential. Our experienced coach, Ronnie, has trained with the best in the business, and brings that knowledge and experience to 8 Tribe.
Our members are supportive and help each other grow and achieve their goals. Muay Thai is an incredibly powerful martial art, and the benefits of its training are numerous. It is a great way to get in shape, lose weight, and build muscle. The physical training can help to improve balance, coordination, and muscle tone. The mental benefits are just as impressive. Muay Thai builds discipline, focus, and confidence. It also teaches effective self–defense techniques that can help protect yourself in any situation.
At 8 Tribe, we work together as a team, motivating and encouraging each other to reach our goals. We create an atmosphere that is both supportive and challenging. Our experienced coach, Ronnie, and our supportive members are here to help you learn quickly, gain confidence, and take your Muay Thai skills to the next level.
OUR ROOTS & LINEAGE
The 8Tribe roots trace back to the highly respected Sityodtong school of Muay Thai, and Ronnie Najjar had the incredible fortune to train formally under Kru Jeab, who was an ex–stadium fighter under the legendary Kru Yodtong, dubbed the “most influential coach in Muay Thai history“. Ronnie also studied and trained under 3 x Kickboxing World Champion Ian “Powerhouse” Jacobs. The combination of the two masters and styles gave Ronnie an unparalleled insight into both disciplines, allowing him to create a hybrid of kickboxing and traditional Muay Thai that makes up the 8 Tribe style today.
