My name is Scott Gregg and for the last fourteen years of my life I been involve in martial arts It has been one of the biggest parts of my life It is my identity, it is what made me the person I am today. Currently I am studying the art of Muay Thai under Kru Christopher Kenney at The Phalanx. Muay Thai is a form of kickboxing from Thailand it is called the science of eight limbs that involves hands, feet, elbows, and knees but what I like about the Phalanx Camp is they keep an open mind. You are not limiting yourself to just set techniques of Muay Thai fighting; they show you all aspects of the fighting game. Just because a technique is not from traditional Muay Thai doesn't mean you should not use it in a fight if it works. Martial Arts mean the art of war with out warring. I would like to gain as much knowledge as I can without ever getting in to a fight. I would highly recommend The Phalanx to any one who wants to gets in shape. Scott Gregg
