Kru Steven has a great training regime at MSA Stockport, training at least 4 times a week alongside many private sessions with Grand Master Sken. After attending the grading and achieving his Brown 111, Kru Steven decided he wanted to pursue a future career in Muay Thai helping to teach others.
Master Sken has been teaching Muay Thai longer than anyone else in the UK, he is a very good teacher. The length of time Master Sken has been teaching means that there are now a very large number of instructors who have been trained by him, now running their own clubs, There are now also instructers out there especially in the North West who have been trained by the instructors who have been trained by M.Sken, you have effectively 3 generations of M Sken trained instructors all teaching in a similar style to M.Sken. I have trained at a number of culbs around the UK and can say that every instructor that has been trained by Master Sken, or one one of his students, have been excellent without exception, so hunt around you might not have to travel 30 miles there might be a guy more local, and you'll still get ecxellent training.
I have being with Master Sken for over 10 years. I am one of his instructors at his Stockport headquarters.
Without sounding bias Master Sken is the best teacher and person I have had the fortune to meet. His ability in Muay Thai is fantastic. Not only will he teach you the physical side of Muay Thai, but he will also ensure that you know about the philosophy and history behind Muay Thai.
This is important in my view as it keeps the legacy of Muay Thai alive and helps you to better undertstand why you do the techniques.John. Click to expand.HI nForce,I have a lot of respect for Master Sken even though I trained in one of Master Toddy's gym's and I found that he's a really good teacher and his students are great to mix with. I met him through Master Toddy as he introduced him to us and we spent quite a while with him after that as it was a competition bout which some of his fighters were competing. You couldn't expect to find a more humble man which he has time for anyone who's really interested in Mauy thai.
I would start tomorrow if I could at his gym as he's worth the time and money your going to pay learning in his club.lisa xx. Muay Thai in LancashireNForceIn one of the above posts I outlined a few Master Sken trained instructors who operate North of Manchester. Some are part of Sitnarong (M Sken's camp) some are independent. All are easier and cheaper to get to than Stockport from Accrington.However there is also Master Chana in Preston, which is just down the M65 form Accrington and a lot easier to get to than Manchester or Stockport.
A Thai national and ex professional Thai fighter, he runs his camp in a very different style to Master Sken. Not better or worse, just different. The gym is on Manchester Rd Preston, behind the Mercedes Showroom. I think there is also a Muay Thai gym in Padiham and one in Accrington itself but I am afraid I don’t know where they are.
Paul Murphy (Mater Sken trained instructor and past fighter) has run clubs at the leisure centre in Burnley but last I heard he had gone off to study to be a lawyer. You could ring the leisure centre and find out if they still run Muay Thai Classes.If you get on Master Skens website atit will list all the Sitnarong gyms, there may be one local to you.Master A has his gym 'Master A's School of Thai Boxing' in Manchester city centre at Thomas Street in the 'Northern Quarter'. It is a superb Thai Boxing school but car parking is a nightmare and classes start quite early in the evening.If you are really keen on training with Master Sken then if you join a Sitnarong camp you can have the best of both worlds. A good quality gym near your home but with the option of attending regular seminars, interclubs and events hosted by M Sken.What ever you choose you are lucky in that you live in the NW where you have a massive choice of very high quality Muay Thai gyms and Camps, probably the best choice in Europe to be honest. There is absolutely no need to settle for a poor quality Thai Boxing camp if you live in Lancashire, Manchester or Cheshire.
