Alright, let’s do this one more time. My name is Marlon Valenzuela, your friendly neighbourhood Muay Thai coach. I was smitten by the action packed movie Bloodsport and since my 20s I’ve pursued a long life as a Muay Thai practitioner. You may know the rest but if you don’t.

 

I first joined the Twin Dragon Kung-Fu & Kick-Boxing club in Toronto studying under Martin McNamara. Martin’s drills and focus on the fundamentals and making students accountable for those fundamentals are still with me today. Soon after I began sparring, my hope of competing was dashed away as an eye condition wouldn’t allow me to see well enough to be medically cleared to compete. I didn’t let that news stop me though and I quickly shifted into becoming the best student I could be and a good sparring partner to my fellow competitors.

 

When I moved to Barrie, I found Mecca Muay Thai & Fitness. I began studying and transitioned from Kickboxing to Muay Thai under the tutelage of Kru Edward Anderson. Kru Edward’s hyper-focus on the fundamentals solidified my love and focus on Muay Thai. When I found Legacy Fight Club, I found my second home.

 

My coaching career began as an assistant to the Kid’s Program, overseeing students' first day at Legacy. When my son Myles joined the program, my focus, under the guidance of Bao, shifted to competitive coaching. I’ve been at the helm of the Kid’s competitive program since 2018, putting my best effort into helping each student reach their full potential.

 

You can still catch me taking part in classes and sparring with students so no matter how many hits I take, I always find a way to hit back. There’s only one friendly neighbourhood Muay Thai coach. And you’re looking at him.

My name is Allan, the Boxing Coach at Legacy Fight Club. I teach everyday people the sweet science of boxing. Having boxed and competed for over a decade, I vividly remember my first time stepping into a boxing gym—unsure what to expect but eager for something new. The moment I laced up my gloves and hit the focus mitts, I was instantly hooked. That decision turned out to be one of the best I’ve ever made.

 

I’d love to help you or your children discover that same passion for boxing, ensuring you find the right coach to show you how boxing can be more than just training—it’s about personal development, self-discipline, and building mental toughness.

 

I recognize that starting out in boxing can feel overwhelming. That's why guiding you to confidently step into the sport, focus on the basics, and gradually build your skills and resilience is my top priority. ​
