Kru Alexander Palma

From an early age Kru Alexander Palma demonstrated his passion for combative athletics while training under Martial Arts Hall of Fame instructor Grandmaster Allen A. Abad and achieving a rank of 5th degree Black Belt. His training was not limited to just the Kajukenbo fighting system. Alex has also trained in the Russian art of Combat Sambo (holding a record of 13-2), Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, and the Israeli combat system Krav Maga making him an extremely well-versed combative athlete.

Kru Alex's drive, dedication, and skills in the fighting arts led him to Central Europe at the age of 23 where he fought his way to an outstanding professional Muay Thai kickboxing record of 28 wins (with nearly half by way of knock-out) and only 3 losses. He trained under World Kickboxing Champion, Przemslaw Saleta and Olympic Gold Medal winner, Pawel Nastula, two of Poland's legendary champions.

After 12 years of fighting professionally, Kru Alex returned to the United States where he now coaches aspiring fighters. In April of 2009, Kru Alex was promoted by one of his long time Muay Thai instructors, Adjarn Vince Soberano Kaewsamrit to the title of 7th Khan Black-and-White Band Senior Instructor. Kru Alex's wealth of knowledge and experience makes his unique and focused instruction highly effective and second to none. It is evident that the same passion Kru Alex has for being in the ring is put into his coaching making him one of the most top quality trainers around.
