Who Else Wants To Get In the Best Shape of Your Life While Learning One of the Highest Energized Butt-Kicking Martial Arts in the World?
“Discover How Muay Thai Training at Crazy 88 will teach you super important self defense while giving you the body of Professional Boxers or Olympic Athletes”
Coach Jon Delbrugge working with World Muay Thai Champion Coban towards perfection
Dear Future Student,
I have a couple of questions for you. Are you interested in learning Muay Thai Kickboxing from a qualified source? Are you looking to develop real stand-up skills as seen in Bangkok, Thailand or Mixed Martial Arts Events such as the UFC? Are you simply interested in having lots of fun in the most professional family friendly environment you have ever experienced while developing a body that will be the envy of Your Friends, and Co-workers? If so, then welcome to Crazy 88! This Letter will answer two very important things that you may or may not have consider but it is super important that you understand:
(1) I want you to understand that BIG BOX GYMS and Cardio kickboxing Classes have lied to the citizens of this country. This is a HUGE PROBLEM and I want you to be aware! Muay Thai Kickboxing is a martial art that allows you to be in the best shape ever imagined….Big Box Gyms and Cardio Kickboxing Classes such as TAEBO are another fitness gimmick, just like Zumba, Jazzercize, or like some of those crazy equipments you see late at night. Please if you participated in any of this scams or bought any of these gimmicky fitness equipments don’t be offended. Many happily involved students now at our school have had this rough awakening an now are experiencing real results.
(2) Muay Thai is not Taekwondo, Boxing with Kicking, it is not Karate…it is simply the most advanced Martial Standup System ever developed but now due to the popularity of the UFC and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) a lot of crappy schools are offering karate classes re-framed and re-packaged as Muay Thai or Kickboxing. In order for you to learn Muay Thai well one factor never changes: “Muay Thai has to be properly taught by qualified instructors who are not looking to change the name of the style just to make quick bucks”.
Here is an outline of the problem one of the best martial art in the world faces due to some impostors trying to make a quick buck:
- Every martial art school and big box gym in the world wants to teach Muay Thai Kickboxing because its HOT right now but few are qualified.
- Classes being taught have poor technique and safety and proper partner pairing is not planned.
- In Most Schools the Equipment is Crappy and Schools are not the ideal training environment from cleanlines to professionalism most schools get a D+grade!
- Some schools instructors, coaches and students have no interest in teaching you but instead feeding you to the wolves…who don’t know muay thai either but will reassure themselves that they are making progress by beating up on a new beginner….COWARDS I SAY!
- Students believe that are learning some form of self defense and building confidence when in reality they are being robbed out of their precious time.
- Instructors teaching random techniques and without rhyme or reason.
- No Curriculums, can you imagine that …how can you call yourself a school if you don’t have a curriculum?!?
- Instructors learning from YouTube!!!
- Plain and Simple: People being lied to!
The Big Scam… (a picture speaks a thousand words)
“How Big Box Gyms and Karate Schools Repackaged Muay Thai for the MASSES”
Aerobics renamed and redistributed as legitimate Muay Thai Kickboxing is still just Aerobics! Make sure you are learning the Techniques Work!
Not All Martial Arts Schools Are Created Equal

What most MARTIAL ARTS SCHOOLS Won’t Tell You!
What most martial arts schools wont tell you is absolutely shocking. They won’t tell you that two years ago they were a Karate or Taekwondo school. They won’t tell you that they are learning the stuff they teach right out of YouTube. They won’t tell you that they are teaching you random stuff without rhyme or reason…just whatever pops up in the instructor’s head that day…that will be the class you will experience. End Result of this limited mindset attitude :
TONS OF STUDENTS LEARNING BAD STANDUP!
Most people learn bad standup because their instructors have no fight experience – they don’t know what works and what doesn’t. This is actually a HUGE PROBLEM because of the reactive nature of standup fighting – you have to do lots of practice to get your punches, kicks, knees, and elbows good but what happens if you are taught these movements incorrectly from the beginning? Not only are you in danger if you need to use your skills but you will also have to spend valuable time “unlearning” these bad habits.
Most Martial Arts Schools wont tell you that the reason their mats are crappy, their equipment is old, and there is NO AIR Conditioning is because they have no interest in taking the program to newer heights and investing in the new generation for students interested in Muay Thai Kickboxing. Any money that comes in…goes straight to their pockets.
Now Crazy 88 is 12,000 square feet but it wasn’t that long ago when our school was just 600 square feet. We believe in developing the best infrastructure to produce the best practitioners of the art. We have multiple qualified instructors, the best equipment, best safety procedures, and so much more.
Some schools out there can figure out how we are doing it? Crazy 88 has been funded through hardwork and re investments of its success back into its student body. I am not telling you this to brag, but to help you understand one thing and one thing only:
The number one thing martial arts schools out there wont tell you is……
That They don’t GIVE A CRAP ABOUT YOU!
Crazy 88 has a track record of investing, and sponsoring students of all levels and this is what will tell you:
- You wont find anyone more passionate about seeing you improve than us
- You wont find a school with a better atmosphere than us
- And You wont find a better instructor student body that ours! All the Muay Thai Kickboxing instructors have experience IN THE RING or IN THE CAGE. They are going to teach you the standup that is most effective and not the fancy techniques that don’t work.

A LETTER FROM ROBERTO TORRALBAS...
“Why I use to hate Kickboxing but Now I am a Huge Fan. My Coaches Never Thought I Would Learn Stand Up BUT NOW I Don’t Miss A Class!”
I always thought that all I needed was Jiu Jitsu to be a good fighter but there are so many aspects to learn and its makes it so exciting to come into class everyday because you always learn something new and its never boring. Think about it – you’re a part of a sport that involves you getting in great shape, developing super fast hands, and have teammates pushing you every step of the way, making you stronger in every aspect of your life. I used to think all the standup stuff wasn’t necessary to learn since I knew Jiu Jitsu and 97% of fights go to the ground but 100% of fights start standing. After thinking about this, I started doing Kickboxing and it has made me into a complete fighter in all aspects. So now you can not only be unstoppable on the ground but on the feet too.
“97% of Fight End Up In The Ground But 100% of them START STANDING“
Since 100% of fights start standing wouldn’t it make sense to learn kickboxing from the best team in the Baltimore area? Considering the percentage of where the fights starts, you want to learn the best techniques from the best kickboxing instructor in the Maryland area making you into a complete fighter so that you have no fear in any aspect of a fight be it the ground or the feet your learning from the best there is.
