Authentic Muay Thai in Mission Viejo. Beginners learning their first combinations through fighters preparing for competition. Led by Diego Paez, professional fighter and WCK world champion.
South Orange County's Dedicated Muay Thai Program
Our Muay Thai program brings authentic, fight-tested technique to South Orange County. Whether you want to get in the best shape of your life, learn real striking for self defense, or prepare for competition, classes are structured to meet you where you are.
Every class covers the fundamentals of Muay Thai (the "Art of Eight Limbs"): punches, kicks, elbows, knees, and clinch work. You'll develop real striking ability, not just fitness kickboxing.
What You'll Learn
Striking Technique
Punches, kicks, elbows, and knees. Built on proper form, not just power.
Defense and Footwork
Defensive footwork, head movement, and reading your opponent's intent.
Clinch Work and Sweeps
The clinch is what separates Muay Thai from other striking arts. You'll learn it from day one.
Pad Work and Partner Drills
Real reps with real timing. Build a strike that lands.
Conditioning
Fight-specific fitness. Cardio, strength, coordination, all built through the work.
Sparring (Optional)
Live sparring is available for intermediate and advanced students. Never required.
Meet Your Coach: Diego Paez
Diego Paez started training Muay Thai at 14. He went undefeated as an amateur with a 10-0 record and four titles, then turned pro and now sits at 7-2-2 with the WCK 130lb world title to his name.
He currently competes under ONE Championship (the world's largest martial arts organization) and has coached fighters competing in the UFC and major professional promotions. At 10PMV he brings the same technical precision he developed at the highest levels to students of every experience level.
"My coaching style blends high-level fight experience with clear, beginner-friendly instruction. I focus on strong fundamentals, proper technique, timing, and repetition while creating a motivating environment for all skill levels. My coaching is hands-on, detail-oriented, and built to help students gain confidence, discipline, and real striking skills."
