My name is Christian Hernandez, also know as “El Capitan." I am 34
years old, born and raised in Ventura, California. I got into Muay
Thai for self defense and have been doing it for 9 years now. I
was 25 years old when I started, just got married, and had two
little boys at the time. My main motivation was to make sure that
I could protect myself and them in any situation. After my first
class I was hooked! I trained as much as I could being a father,
husband, and working full time. 6 months after I started, my Kru
at the time set up an in gym event, or a “smoker,” which is what
we called them. I was nervous and excited about being able to
compete and represent my team. I won that fight by TKO and I knew
that this is what I wanted to do. I currently have over 20 fights
with a record of 13-7 and fight at 153 pounds (Super
Welterweight). I have won state titles, collected a few belts, and
have competed both nationally and internationally, from Mexico to
Thailand, as well as all over the West coast. I've fought at "A
Class" Amateur level now for 7 years and plan to go Pro in 2023. I
love Muay Thai and will continue to do it until my body can’t
anymore hahaha. I currently train at Corona Muay Thai Acadmy under
Kru Roy. Kru Roy’s technique is clean and aggressive. You can see
his love for it and it shows in his teachings. I have fought for
him for over 3 years now. And I think that he’s the best. If you
live in the 805 area you should be training with us!
