Even when he first began training 13 yrs ago, Kevin demonstrated a discerning eye for Muay Thai technique, style, and  perspective. This propensity toward the more subtle, skillful aspects of the art gave him an edge as a competitive athlete and now affords him keen insight in his role as a Combat Sport Official/Referee.

As a trainer, he is a firm believer in developing a solid foundation of Muay Thai basics because when things get tough in competition, you can always rely on two things: ingrained basics & tenacious heart. 

“I always bring my love, energy and enthusiasm for the sport when I step into the gym. And if you come in eager to learn and willing to participate, we're all going to have a good time!”

In 2006 he moved to Calgary and discovered Muay Thai, which he loved and continuously trained ever since. Muay Thai & Martial Arts are not just Lucus' hobbies, they are his lifestyle, his therapy, and what brings him peace. He has fought 13 times in the amateurs across Canada. In 2015 Lucus had the honour to be a member of Team Canada's coaching staff at the IFMA's in Bangkok. His wife and children train with him in their home dojo.

Lucus' hope is that students not only achieve the best versions of themselves, but also if needed , learn to heal themselves.
