Kru & Professor Rad Durousseau
Meet Krufessor Rad (a blend of KRU + PROFESSOR), owner of Rad Muay Thai. Rad is a seasoned fitness expert with over a decade of experience in the industry. His journey into the realm of martial arts unfolded during his days as a bodybuilder and triathlete. Intrigued by the unparalleled physical conditioning and skill demonstrated by combat sports athletes, Rad made the bold transition to Mixed Martial Arts to elevate his training regimen.
In 2007, Rad faced a formidable challenge when he temporarily lost his vision due to Keratoconus, a serious eye condition. A successful corneal transplant restored his sight, but it redirected his focus from striking competitions to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Undeterred, Rad achieved remarkable success, securing over 10 divisional titles in Colorado, including 2 Absolute titles. Notably, he clinched the Super Heavyweight absolute title in Oklahoma as a purple belt.
Guided by Professor Henry Matamoros, Rad attained his black belt, a significant milestone in his martial arts journey. Eager to expand his knowledge, Rad immersed himself in Muay Thai, dedicating years to training with a formidable team at American Top Team Altitude in Aurora, Colorado, where he also served as an instructor.
Throughout his journey, Rad had the privilege of training with Master Hung D. Tran, the esteemed president and founder of the Tran Muay Thai Association in Colorado. Now a Kru level instructor under Master Tran and the TMTA, Rad also gained valuable experience by training in Thailand.
Adopting a functional training approach, Rad designs strength and conditioning classes with a focus on overall fitness and athletic performance optimization. His philosophy emphasizes efficiency and eliminates unnecessary movements, empowering students to move effectively in any situation. Rad, a firm believer in the effectiveness of kettlebells, holds Level 1 and Level 2 KFIT Kettlebell certifications, along with being a certified boxing instructor. His expertise attracts MMA, Kickboxing, and Muay Thai fighters seeking to refine their skills.
Beyond the arena, Rad's true passion lies in guiding students toward holistic self-improvement. At RMT, he cultivates an inclusive environment where individuals from diverse backgrounds can train like professional fighters, reaping the benefits of martial arts to enhance their overall well-being, both mentally and physically."
