The original Camp to first introduce, teach & promote Authentic Traditional Muaythai and Krabi Krabong in England's South, London and Home Counties. I am honoured and proud to have brought Muaythai into the area from humble beginnings in the 80's, completely unknown in West London, to now. It has affected so many of my students lives in a positive and enduring way to be part of them wherever they go and will always be the roots of their individual life's history that can not be erased. Thus, this site is dedicated to all our past and present student members. I will keep striving for excellence to ensure successful continuation and growth on the right path & in the true way.
Our Club's Mission Statement...
is to promote & teach anyone teachable to the highest possible standards all forms of Authentic MuayThai (Silapa MuayThai, Muay Boran), Modern(Ring Sport) Thai Boxing, Western Boxing and Krabi Krabong (traditional Thai weapons) in conjunction with its code of conduct, ethics, respect and values ensuring successful continuation and growth in the true way.
Utilising all components of training in martial arts to help develop character and humility at the same time stimulating & building strength in an individuals mind, body and spirit so as to lead a more positive, fulflling and productive life benefiting oneself and society as a whole.
A WORD FROM DANNY KAPOOR:
Training' means spirit and mind first behind the physical body. Let go of negative emotions and doings eg hatred, jealousy, frustration, bitterness, anger, lies, grudges, pettiness, blaming, revenge. Don't burden yourself with these and carry them around bad energy is created which spirals, effects and destroys. Be a Warrior, not a Worrier. Look to your own failings first before finding faults in others let he who is without sin cast the first stone'! Tolerance, calmness, kindness and patience are virtues not weaknesses! Think speak do positive, seek peaceful ways and outcomes...remember the karmic cycle of what goes around comes around - action & reaction, cause & effect.
We are directly responsible for our lives and actions - enhance and strive for excellence, help others, spread love from the heart,
do not forget and show respect to those who have helped, guided and given your roots, always.
I would like to extend my thanks and appreciation for the continuing support of and opportunities to work with and train under

SOME THINGS ARE TRULY WORTH FIGHTING FOR!
In this rapidly changing world of ours, with many new scientific wonders and breakthroughs occurring almost daily, the effects of which on society can be seen as both good and bad, the speed of change has left many people alienated and confused as traditional trades and jobs are changed or made obsolete. Television technology has made rapid progress over the last few years, but it now seems that these new developments have been at the cost of moral values as more programmes and films made, contain graphic scenes of gratuitous violence and pornography.
The effects of watching this on the young and gullible should not be underestimated, even though program producers may say it has no effect. One does not have to go far to see children mimicking scenes from films they have just seen, and in fact there are more reports of 'copycat' violence & murders.
Many people are now beginning to realise that this is wrong and long for a return of the 'old values' and days gone by! It is these very same values which Rukthai Camp has as one of its corner stones & promotes them in many clubs worldwide besides the actual Martial Art techniques.
Without them there cannot be a balanced development in any students ' progress through all the different levels of Muaythai. Aggression has its place in the Martial Arts, but this should only be controlled aggression, and one should constantly aim to improve oneself through practice, hard work & discipline, combined with humility and respect.
'TRUE PROGRESS CAN THEN BE MADE.'....
