Team Burklerk Pinsinchai Canada

The Lanna Muay Thai program started in 2005 and adopted the name from our affiliation in Chang Mai, Thailand. Since then Lanna Muay Thai Canada has grown and in 2008 had the distinct honour of being awarded the use of the name “Team Burklerk Canada”. This great honour was given to us by a man regarded as the “ Muhammad Ali” of Muay Thai Ajahn Burklerk Pinsinchai. Ajahn travels to over 18 countries around the world and has many national and international champion fighters. Ajahn Burklerk Pinsinchai began training in Muay Thai under his father at the age of 9 and two years later switched over to the legendary Pinsinchai Camp in Bangkok. Ajahn Burklerk went on to become a two time champion of Lumpini Stadium, 2 time Yod Muay Thailand/ Rajadamnern Stadium Champion, and retired with a professional fight record of 170-7. The United States Muay Thai Association ranks Ajahn Burklerk as one of the all time best Muay Thai fighters to walk the planet. Ajahn Burklerk Pinsinchai was also recently awarded the title of Muay Thai World Ambassador. This is the most prestigious award one may win in the Muay Thai World.

Muay Thai is a 2000 year old art form and is recognized as the national sport of Thailand. According to Kat Prayukvong and Lesley D. Junlakan, the term Muay originated as a practical fighting skill using the head, fists, elbows, knees and feet with or without additional weaponry. Our Muay Thai Program work on a Graduating System. The curriculum was developed with the intension to motivate, inspire, challenge and progress our students in a very structured manner. We believe that our programs are regarded as some of the best this side of the world has to offer. The beauty of Muay Thai is that it is a Martial Art and Sport, but over the last decade people have begun to recognize Muay Thai as a means of fitness and wellness. A Muay Thai workout is unlike any other fitness regime. At Lanna Muay Thai Canada the majority of students participate for fitness and health.
