Santa Monica Striking

Dean has been training me in the martial arts for years and has continued to exhibit pure competitive, soulful spirit for his art. I don’t only look at Dean as just a coach but a friend and mentor throughout the years he has trained me in Muy Thai. Santa Monica striking is a great group of fighters and it wouldn’t be what it is today without Dean’s love for fighting and passionate instruction. Thank you for making me a true fighter!

Dean is one of the best Muay Thai instructors in the area. Whether you are trying to build a skill, develop self-defense, or get a good workout in, his charismatic attitude and dedication to his craft shows in how he coaches his students, of any level. I've been training with Dean for about 6 months now and I've learned a lot. Looking forward to training more with him!

Dean is a hardworking knowledgeable coach who really does go the extra mile, I know that because I met him in the states at a clinic for how to take coaching to the next level. This is the kind of dedication you need for your best martial arts experience. Do the right thing and join!

Muay Thai has absolutely changed my life the past year. Thanks to Santa Monica Striking I went from zero striking experience to my first fight in 8 months of training, fully confident with Dean in my corner. Whether you’re completely new to Muay Thai or experienced and need a legit place to train, Dean will take good care of you.

Lance and Dean are amazing teachers for not only beginners but also intermediate to advanced levels of Muay Thai and many other forms of combat sports.
Together they have treated a great environment and community for all to feel welcomed, work out and learn from each other.
Highly recommend!!!
