“I was so impresses with Alex and his attitude. A pure professional and dedicated to MMA, Alex trained our guests in MMA for 2-hours twice each day and then had no problem doing 10-15 rounds of Muay Thai with our professional Thai Boxing instructors. What impressed me the most was his physical conditioning. Alex would train harder than any student he had, not to impress, but to impress upon the guests what it takes to make it to the top of the MMA fighters list,” said McNamara

Will Elliot, who has been coming to Tiger Muay Thai the last 5-years before finally accepting a job as general manager of the training camp remembered training with Alex Reid.

“Alex was such a professional from his diet to his training. He had a big influence on my style of MMA fighting when I came here and trained with him in ground-n-pound. When I went back home and trained with my usual partners they could immediatly see improvement in my fight game thanks to training with Alex Reid,” said Elliot.
