Meet Your Muay Thai Coach: Gabriel Cruz
Muay Thai isn't just a sport for Gabriel; it’s a lifelong passion rooted in discipline and precision.
Muay Thai began as a quest for self-defence for Gabriel, but it quickly transformed into a lifelong calling. With over 11 years of dedicated practice, Gabriel has moved from a student of the art to a leader in the community, currently serving as the Head Coach of the Muay Thai Fight Team at Xtreme Couture.
Gabriel doesn’t just teach—he inspires. Known for his infectious energy and friendly approach, he balances a deep love for the "tricks of the trade" with a firm belief in discipline. Whether he’s working with professional fighters or teaching a child their first stance, Gabriel ensures that every session is engaging, practical, and, above all, fun.
"I believe you can work harder than you ever thought possible and still have a smile on your face. It’s about total improvement—mental and physical." — Gabriel Cruz.

Your Path to Peak Performance
Pro-level technique, a curriculum built around you, flexible scheduling, and real Thai style. No guesswork, no pressure.
Getting started is simple. I remove the friction so you can focus on the fight.
Step 1: ANSWER A FEW QUICK QUESTIONS
Take the 60-second quiz: your goals, your experience, and where you'd like to train. That's all I need to point you in the right direction.
Step 2: I'LL REACH OUT PERSONALLY
Within 24 hours, I'll call to hear where you're coming from, answer your questions, and figure out the package that fits. No pressure and no obligation, just a real conversation about getting you started.
Step 3: TRAIN ON MY CURRICULUM
Muay Thai is the art of eight limbs, and I teach you to master one weapon at a time. It's the curriculum I built over 11 years of training and coaching, adapted to your exact level so you build real skill, not just a sweat.
Step 4: CHOOSE YOUR TRAINING GROUNDS
Train at a GC Muay Thai partner gym in Etobicoke, Mississauga, or Toronto, or get the convenience of at-home coaching with all equipment provided.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need any experience to start?
None at all. Most of my clients walk in as complete beginners. I meet you exactly where you are and build from there.
Do I need my own gear?
I bring all the training equipment to every session, at home or at the gym, so pads and everything we'll drill with are covered. The one thing to bring is your own boxing gloves and hand wraps; that's the minimum to train. As you progress and eventually start sparring, you can add your own shin guards, mouthguard, and cup, but none of that is needed to begin. Just want to try it first? For a one-time trial session, I can provide gloves, so you can show up with nothing and see how it feels.
Do you come to me, or do I come to you?
Both. I coach at-home and on-location across Etobicoke, Toronto, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, and Mississauga, or you can train with me at a GC Muay Thai partner gym. You'll pick what works for you in the quiz.
How much does it cost?
It depends on where you train and the travel distance, so I don't quote a flat number online. Take the 60-second quiz, and I'll give you exact pricing on our call, matched to your location and goals.
Is it safe? Will I get hurt?
Training is controlled and scaled to your level. There's no forced sparring and no ego in the room, just real skill built at a pace that's right for you.
Can my child train?
Yes. I coach youth as well as adults, with sessions adapted to their age and level.
Can I train with a partner or a small group?
Absolutely. I offer duo and small-group private sessions. Just let me know who's training when you take the quiz.
How do I get started?
Take the quiz. It takes about 60 seconds, and I'll personally reach out within 24 hours to talk it through.
