Founder & Head Coach
Khru Doug has dedicated his life to the art of Muay Thai since 2003. His journey began with a Bachelor’s Degree in Kinesiology, the study of how the body moves and performs. That scientific foundation sparked a lifelong passion for understanding human performance both physically and mentally.
After years of coaching and training, Doug found his true calling in Muay Thai. As a lifelong student, athlete, and instructor, he has devoted himself to mastering and sharing the art. Recognized as Khru within the Sittsongpeenong and Khanomtom camps in Thailand, Doug has trained with world champions and immersed himself in the culture, traditions, and discipline that make Muay Thai so powerful.
Khru Doug Lane
“The love of Muay Thai has infinite depth. The art is not only superior in striking, but its culture, people, and traditions are contagious.”
