Toronto Schools

Does anyone have any experience with the MT schools in Toronto ?
Or does anyone know which is good or which isn't , i'm shopping for a school and any input would be graciously accepted.

We have people here from Toronto, but I don't know about anyone who studies Muay Thai there.

damn i'm looking for the same thing.. any luck on finding a MT school here in TO man?

Have either of you been successful in finding such a school?

I'll ask my Kruu about any "good" schools in Toronto, we are based in Ottawa so he should know all the Toronto guys.

It was good seeing you again Sir, I'm sorry we didn't get to talk too much. I still plan to come by and visit your school sometime soon.

Did you have any luck?

Ajarn Suchart has relocated his gym several times. The addresses at Bathurst, St.Clair, Elmsthrope, etc. are not there anymore.
The current location is 2772 Dufferin St. The gym is called House of Muay Thai (formerly known as Siam #1)
http://houseofmuaythai.com/

Ultimate Martial Arts is located at 680 Progress Ave. (416) 289-9997
http://www.ultimatethaiboxing.com/

Tiger Gym is located at 2730 Dundas West. It's a small place, located above the auto body shop.

Kombat Arts in Mississauga. http://www.kombatarts.com/

I don't know about the status of Sun Kune Do and Lumpini locations, but I know Mafa gym is defunct, if you should come across that. There are also a few new gyms starting up, such as Scorpion in Scarborough.

Of the above, only Ultimate and Tiger gyms belong to CAMTAO, the sole organization recognized by the Ontario government as a sanctioning body for amateur muay thai fights. Pro fights are not sanctioned at this time.
This means that fighters from gyms not belonging to CAMTAO cannot fight in Ontario, and violation of this may result in criminal charges.

See http://www.camtao.org/ for further info.

For people looking for gyms elsewhere in Ontario, there is Phady's in the Kitchener/Waterloo area:
http://www.phadymuaythai.com/
at Waterloo Regional Boxing Academy, 1253 King St. E.; Kitchener
They can direct you to gyms in Stratford, and I think Barrie.

There is also Iron Tiger in Stoney Creek:

Hope this helps.
