Born in Los Angeles and raised in the Inland Empire, Ariel’s martial arts journey began as a teenager with boxing, where he built a 9-1 record in amateur competitions. It wasn’t long before he discovered Muay Thai and fell in love with the art of eight limbs. This transition opened a new world for him, combining the fundamentals of boxing with the powerful kicks, knees, and elbows that define Muay Thai. After competing in several amateur Muay Thai bouts, he gained valuable ring experience and further sharpened my skills. While competition has been a thrilling part of his journey, his true passion lies in teaching. With over a decade of experience in Muay Thai, Ariel brings a wealth of knowledge and a unique perspective to his classes. Ariels teaching blends the sharpness of Western boxing with the precision and power of traditional Thai techniques, giving students a well-rounded and effective fighting style.
