About us

47 years of coaching experience

Muay Thai Kickboxing Kru George Valdez was inducted into the International Karate and Kickboxing Hall of Fame in 2007, and the IKBA Hall of Fame in 2011, has trained over 58 Champions and has refereed over 1,000 fights. In 1992 George decided to pass on his special skill set and unique understanding of Muay Thai to assist the at-risk youth in his community.

George realized very soon that he couldn’t limit his teachings and training classes solely to the at-risk population; so, Valdez Kickboxing opened its doors to the community and the family began to grow and adopt new members from all walks of life. Since Valdez Kickboxing opened this gym has acted as a safe haven and has provided its members with a positive learning atmosphere.
