Tony Gutierrez
Muay Thai/ MMA Coach
Hi, I'm Coach Tony. I'm originally from Illinois where I owned and operated my own Kids Focused Martial Arts club. That club produced multiple National Muay Thai Champs and local Jiu Jitsu Champions. My goal at Universal is to help establish a healthy group of athletes who will be capable to compete in the ever growing sport of Muay Thai. My philosophy has aways been, "Your child might not want to compete in the ring or on the mat, but if they ever need to use their martial arts you'll be glad they trained with kids that do," If you want to get in shape and learn how to strike with all "eight limbs", come give our classes a try.
