Our History

Established in 2006, Wai Kru has become one of the best, most sought after MMA gyms on the east coast. It was the first gym in Boston to pull together a team of world-class instructors for each of the styles in MMA under one roof and offer an open training program to its students.

The term "Wai-Kru" is a ritual performed before a fight which is a continued Thai tradition since ancient times. It is a way to pay respect to the King of Thailand, to the teachers who have given the fighter knowledge, and to those involved in organizing the competition/tournament.
