It is a complete Martial Arts System that includes a progressive rank system, inclusive of fitness, technical skill and self defense combat applications that has been modified to not only be safe for the practitioner, but alot of fun, too. Master Ace Ramirez was featured on MTV's popular series "MADE" as an exclusive COACH where he exposed was first to expose Muay Thai Kickboxing to the public as he helped transform a teenage girl deal with her Bullies in school while also finding the confidence to reach her personal goals.
Our curriculum is the first of its kind!
Meaning of "KRU"?
"KRU" is literally translated from the Thai language as meaning "teacher". KRU Muay Thai is therefore a teaching style. Not to be confused with "cardio kickboxing", the origins of Muay Thai date back thousands of years to Siam now known today as Thailand.
KRU Muay Thai is a highly sought-after program that is practiced in schools from the West Coast of the United States to the UK in Europe. You will find the best quality of instruction as well as the best facilities to train in. Great environment with all the benefits such as confidence, weight loss, strength, speed, self-defense, and more.
Simply the best place to train and become immersed in culture. Not only will you have fun while training, you’ll grow physically, mentally and spiritually. Every coach is fantastic and will motivate you to reach and surpass all of your goals.

KRU Training is a wonderful organization lead by a kind, dedicated, and skilled leader. Master Ace encourages discipline and hard work, focuses on the importance of detail and form, and nurtures the souls of our kids. He emphasizes team work, but rewards the individual effort. He truly cares about each student and it shows. Not only is Master Ace an amazing teacher , but also an amazing person. I would highly recommend KRU Training to any parent!

In my 27+ years of teaching martial arts professionally, have been blessed to meet some of the top martial artists and teachers across the United States. Master Ace is one of those rare gems that is passionate about what he teaches with the knowledge and skills to back it up. His integrity in and out of the business is beyond reproach. This combination of integrity and a passion for life is seen in not only his students, but in his family and ALL the people he comes in contact with. Whether its coaching on the mat or coaching in life, I highly recommend Master Ace and his staff at Filipino Kali Academy.

Dear Master Ace Ramirez, Thank You for an amazing weekend in Tampa, Florida! Speaking to you as a person that has been involved in the Martial Arts business for many years as a martial arts academy owner, it is refreshing to speak to someone that not only has an amazing program in KRU Muay Thai but also has a tremendous grasp in the martial arts business and delivers that information in a refreshing powerful way that inspires his “KRU”. Every member at the event including people not involved with KRU was inspired. Master Ace Ramirez your Muay Thai is elegant beautifully executed yet is extremely powerful! Thank You for sharing it in such a palatable way that ensures every student can “get it”. In addition your teaching methodology is extremely well thought out and perfect for any martial arts academy owner to add a new program and add tremendous value and demand to their academy. The program is definitely in high demand from people from the outside of the academy looking for Muay Thai , Furthermore, it is such an interesting program that my current members which had no understanding of what Muay Thai was about are completely intrigued as well as refreshingly stimulated. I highly recommend “KRU Muay Thai” for any student or academy owner that is looking for a Valuable training program that keeps students coming back for more and me having fun teaching a program that is refreshing, amazing and most important the curriculum is already complete. I am really so glad I don’t have to think about what to teach next. As far as your Martial Arts business consulting is concerned I am thrilled because you always reply to my emails. I can come down for a face to face if I really have a question or a concern. Any immediate assistance is either followed up by yourself or a staff member of yours that can handle that question if you are out of town. However the most important part of your consulting is that you don’t have me change what I teach and know in my other programs you just translate in a way that I can present it and get my values worth. I was never once told to stop teaching what I know in order to stay in business that many other martial arts consultants do. I can continue to teach classical martial arts in a traditional way that still carries on the lineage. ( you just powerfully consulted me in a way to continue doing that Art without compromising my love for it). Also you have developed an amazing palatable Muay Thai program and provided excellent consulting advice , marketing tools and materials to reach the community with. Thank You Master Ace Ramirez to the dedication to your Art Muay Thai! Thank You for sharing it with us! Thank You to your dedication to us as coaches! I know my students benefit because of your love and dedication to your TEAM. Thank You Sir! Respectfully, Coach Ivan Pellei

"I have been training Muay Thai for 12 years, and teaching for 3 years. But i must say that the information I learned this weekend was so good that i had this happy feeling in my belly that i hadn't had in forever. Just in what I learned in the basic drills was amazing, and I feel it will take my training and teaching to the next level. It opened my eyes alot to training methodology. loved it loved it loved it!"
