The academy schedule has been updated for Wednesdays and Saturdays to include our new Muay Thai class.  We are proud to offer this class which is being taught by Kimura BJJ’s very own Harut Arutyunyan.  Harut has trained with us in BJJ for quite some time and the few students who do not know him by name will most likely recognize him by sight as he is almost always at class, training diligently.  What students may not know however is that Harut is also a world class Muay Thai competitor and instructor!

Harut started training in Kickboxing in 1990 and eventually transitioned into Muay Thai as he gained experience and knowledge.  He has held numerous Massachusetts, New England, Tri-State, and National titles both as a junior and as an adult.  In 1997 he started competing internationally in professional bouts, winning more than 90% of his fights!  The highlight of his Muay Thai career was fighting in the prestigious Japan based K-1 organization where he competed in many internationally broadcasted events.  We are very fortunate to have such an experienced competitor and instructor join us at the Kimura BJJ Academy!
