Legacy Muay Thai

Wow! Where to start! This place is absolutely the best! I have been training there since February of this year and it’s been awesome every step of the way. I was a straight noob when I first joined so to anyone who is reluctant, don’t be. Everyone at Legacy Muay Thai is awesome! From the Coaches to the students and everyone in between. A welcoming family atmosphere with no egos. Don’t get me started on how well the Coaches teach because I could go on forever. If you want to learn the Art of Eight Limbs for fitness, self-​defense or competition regardless of your age, gender or experience, you will love this place. My only regret is not finding this place sooner. Oh! and in case you didn’t know, Gracie Technics is in the same location. The best Muay Thai and the best Jiu-​Jitsu all under one roof!!! What more could you ask for?

The man! That’s all I can say, coach Ivan is really a gifted teacher and has the perfect amount of «push» to keep his students growing without burning them out. I’ve trained with him for about a year now and the growth of the classes are nothing more than the result of his coaching style and dedication he puts into all his classes. On an advance level he has a great fighting IQ and the experience to be able to dissect your movements to make them more efficient and successful as evident with the huge improvements shown in UFC’s Max Holloway striking game over the past couple years. No matter your skill level coach Ivan and his group will make you feel at home with no egos or judgement. They welcome you to the ohana which you somehow find difficult to leave after a while.

I’ve trained under Coach Ivan Flores for nearly 7 years, since the inception of the former M-​1 Martial Arts & Fitness, and can’t imagine what my take on Muay Thai would be without his knowledge and expertise.
Like many martial artists, he continues to perfect his craft and always looks to expand his knowledge base in order to maintain and pass on the art to his students, as well as uphold the values, traditions and skill sets of Nak Muays past, present and future.
I believe coaches that utilize their knowledge in a way to customize and develop a skill set based on the individual’s own abilities have the most positive impact. Coach Ivan is no exception. He is a passionate coach and instructor with a humble heart willing to accept those who seek his direction and a willingness to learn.
Whatever your goal, whether self-​defense or fitness, sharpening your skill sets, or interested in competing on the highest levels, Coach Ivan has an exceptional ability, patience and determination to lead you toward becoming your absolute best.
If you’re looking for a professional Muay Thai learning center with a passionate, family-​friendly appeal, Coach Ivan & the nak muays of Legacy Muay Thai in Honolulu could be the place for you!
