Bang Muay Thai Kickboxing was founded by Duane Ludwig (left) and inspired by Bas Rutten (right), it is a striking system steeped in both legacy and tradition.
Bang Muay Thai is a combination of both Dutch Style Kickboxing and Muay Thai Kickboxing, that has been perfected in some of the top competitions in the world.
Our classes are not only an excellent workout but teach practical and beginner striking techniques in a safe and positive environment that are applicable in self-defense as well as in the ring.
At Bang Muay Thai Santa Fe we have a supportive community that begins with our coaching staff and extends to every student.i

Bang Muay Thai is a martial art you simply can’t practice alone. Training with a partner is a key component of the Bang Muay Thai system. With that being said, you need a partner. You need a team. You’ll quickly form a bond with everyone you practice with. You’ll push past limits and accomplish things you never thought possible because of our team’s support.
We have people from all walks of life on our team. First responders, lawyers, baristas, chefs, bartenders, photographers, contractors and students are just a few examples of the kind of people we have on our team. You’ll fit right in because Martial Arts brings people together that other places never could.

Kickboxing uses every single part of your body – which means every time you come to class, you get a true full-body workout. People are always amazed at how easy it is to lose weight and get in incredible shape with kickboxing.
You’ll learn how to defend yourself in real-life situations. Ask around and you’ll find that our members will have a story or two about how they used what they’ve learned in our classes out in the real world. At Bang Muay Thai Santa Fe you always train with a resisting opponent. This method of training is key in developing the technique, timing and leverage that is essential for high level performance in real life situations. This is the real deal. Feel confident in yourself, and your ability to protect your loved ones.
If you ever felt insecure about who you are – you’ll find those feelings replaced by security and pride. Your image of yourself will become more confident and secure. You’ll learn to walk in life with absolutely zero fear in your eyes. People will take notice, treat you differently and your life will be changed forever.
Bang Muay Thai will help you develop a deeper connection to your body by learning how to control it, and treat it right. Your mind will also grow in strength and you’ll begin to take more risks. No situation will be able to stir you away from the confidence you develop from the controlled adversity we exercise at Bang Muay Thai Santa Fe.
