In this episode of the Pu’u Muay Thai Podcast, Jonathan sits down with Eric Adams, owner and head coach of Teep City Muay Thai in Parker, Colorado — and a proud Pu’u Muay Thai Licensee.

Eric shares his full journey from working at Pu’u Muay Thai Ventura during the pandemic to launching his own Muay Thai academy in Colorado. He opens up about the struggles of finding a space, dealing with landlords who said “no martial arts,” and how mentorship and structured systems helped him build a thriving community from the ground up.

They discuss:
 ✅ How Eric went from teaching in a 25x25 yoga studio to a full-fledged Muay Thai academy
 ✅ The biggest mistakes most gym owners make when starting out
 ✅ How Pu’u Muay Thai’s License Program provided the foundation for business systems, marketing, and curriculum
 ✅ Why consistency, structure, and mentorship are key to sustainable growth
 ✅ Advice for anyone dreaming of opening their own Muay Thai gym

Eric’s story is proof that with the right guidance, structure, and community, you can build something that changes lives.
