Coach Julius

Coach Julius Balagasay

“You do not conform to Muay Thai, you make Muay Thai conform to you”

The Artist, The Technician, The Comedian – Muay Thai Coach at Markham

Three Decades of Devotion

With over 30 years of martial arts experience, Julius lives and breathes Muay Thai. To him, this isn’t just a discipline — it’s his lifestyle. From competitive fighting to years spent coaching both kids and adults, Julius brings a rare combination of technical depth, creativity, and sheer love for the art.

Whether he’s shadowboxing while waiting for the bus or marching through the halls of his day job in Thai rhythm, Julius is always immersed in Muay Thai. He’s not just training students — he’s inviting them into a world where discipline and imagination collide.

“If Muay Thai is art, then I’m just here to show you how to hold the brush.”

 

🎭 The Julius Experience

If he wasn’t coaching, Julius would probably be on a comedy stage somewhere. His goofy charm, quick wit, and infectious enthusiasm create a class atmosphere where laughter is common — but slacking is not.

Students often walk into class not knowing what to expect, but always leave sweaty, smiling, and a little bit smarter about their Muay Thai. His energy is unmatched, but so is his focus. Behind the jokes is a serious mind for detail, always breaking down movement, body mechanics, and adaptive strategy.

🧠 Teaching Style

Julius doesn’t just teach technique — he teaches expression. His coaching focuses on:

  • Body mechanics and movement fluency

  • Technical precision and practical adaptation

  • Creative combinations that suit individual styles

  • Understanding the “why” behind every strike

He’s especially gifted at helping students customize their game, maximizing their strengths while turning weaknesses into weapons.

“Every student paints their own version of Muay Thai. I just make sure the strokes are sharp.”

🥋 Class Vibe

  • Kids & Adults Welcome – Julius teaches both with passion

  • Goofy Energy – expect laughs, impressions, and random dance moves

  • Deep Learning – real breakdowns, lightbulb moments, tactical tweaks

  • Real Work – sweat, challenge, and progress guaranteed

He’s a fixture at our Markham location, bringing high-level knowledge with low-key vibes that make beginners feel welcome and experienced students feel challenged.

“Everyone can be silly, but no one can be sillier than me. That said, you’re still doing those push-ups.”
