Hi, I’m Manuel.

Hotelier during the day, Muay Thai coach in the evenings.

I came to BC from Colombia a couple of years ago, bringing my love for striking and Muay Thai. I have spent a big part of my life training, competing, and learning from every round. Fighting is a huge passion of mine—but honestly, what I enjoy most is holding pads and helping others grow. There’s nothing better than seeing someone level up and feel more confident in their movement. Whether you’re brand new or chasing bigger goals, I’m here to push you, support you, and share the energy that makes this sport/community so special.

Muay Thai is all about connection, detail, and energy. I believe in building strong fundamentals—clean technique, smart movement, and solid conditioning—but also in making training fun, challenging, and personal. I want you to understand the "why" behind what you're doing, feel sharper and more confident every time you step on the mat.
