Kru Juice, what is happening to Muay Thai Culture and Muayman Academy?
The inception of Muay Thai Culture was driven by the desire to narrate the rich history of Muay Thai, as experienced by its practitioners and passed down through generations of Nak Muay. This narrative is expanding, and the founder, Aaron “Kru Juice” Veverka, has recognized the necessity for a more substantial platform to accommodate these stories. To adequately support the artists who dedicate their lives to Muay Thai, a virtual hall of celebration is required. Consequently, the new home of Muay Thai Culture is the former Muayman Academy, which previously functioned more as a digital repository for the art than a traditional academy. Kru Juice identified this opportunity and embraced it wholeheartedly. Muay Thai Culture is evolving into a comprehensive media hub for Muay Thai, aggregating videos from across the internet that highlight the lives, fights, and instructional moments of its fighters, coaches, and promoters.
Muayman Academy is being developed as a cooperative entity aimed at instructing trainers in the Muay Thaibata conditioning system—the world’s first conditioning system specifically designed for Muay Thai. This cooperative will enable instructors to collectively operate a global gym, thereby providing them with a sustainable livelihood through teaching, rather than relying on multiple jobs to sustain their gyms.
Muayman Thaiboxing will serve as the platform for this initiative, offering a website and applications for both iOS and Android. This will allow members to participate and learn from the system. Additionally, the system will be available for licensing to those who do not wish to join the cooperative, although they will not receive the extensive benefits associated with membership in the Muayman Academy. Future updates will be communicated promptly through this newsletter.
