The System

What is Bang Muay Thai?

Legacy is a certified training center for the Bang Muay Thai system — bringing a world-class striking curriculum to Burbank.

A striking system built on legacy

“Bang Muay Thai kickboxing is a striking system steeped in legacy and achievement that upholds traditional martial art values while embracing modern methods of combat sports.” It blends Dutch kickboxing and Muay Thai, refined through two decades of top-level competition.

It's a living art that continues to evolve daily, seeking perfection through practice and the input of instructors and students in schools across the globe.

Founded by Sensei Duane “Bang” Ludwig

Bang Muay Thai was created by Sensei Duane “Bang” Ludwig, a two-time MMA Coach of the Year. It is a culmination of the knowledge and experience he acquired throughout his career as a championship coach and fighter, trained under UFC Hall of Famer Bas Rutten and three-time MMA Coach of the Year Trevor Wittman.

Certified training centers worldwide teach the same clear, highly organized combinations, drills, breakdowns, and strategy — the curriculum you'll train at Legacy Muay Thai in Burbank.
