About Us | Kru Mark DellaGrotte | Kru Yodtong | Instructors | Testimonials

“My two main concerns in choosing a training camp were: quality of trainers and quality of training partners. Anyone that understands the sport of mixed martial arts knows that Mark DellaGrotte and his trainers at Sityodtong Boston are skillful, knowledgeable and care deeply about the art of fighting. They are among the best in the sport. As a result, the students are smart, focused and supportive at every level of the game, and they continuously challenge and encourage each other to improve. The work ethic is incredible. But, there is something else that happens at Sityodtong that I can’t articulate… The whole is so much more than the sum of its parts. At the risk of sounding corny…it’s really, really special. You just have to feel it for yourself”

- Sityodtong Student

“Sityodtong is such an amazing place to train! It brings together the best Muay Thai and MMA instructors with students that care not only about their own growth, but that of others as well. I’ve found that I’m not only learning the art and practice of Muay Thai from the best, but I’m given the opportunity to teach and be taught by some of the most invested and interesting combative artists around.”

- Steven Shafer

“I started training at Sityodtong to learn more about the sport that I love to watch. Now after a year and a half, not only have I learned a ton about MMA, but I’ve found my self-confedence has gone through the roof, and I’ve made a lot of new friends.”

- Evan A.

“I’ve been to multiple MMA gyms before coming to Sityodtong, and none of them have come close to the fun and experience I have gained at Sityodtong. The people are great, staff helpful and friendly, and most importantly the trainers are not only great fighters, but they actually know how to teach it to others. On top of other things the price for membership is very reasonable. I learned more in the first month at Sityodtong than I did training at the other places for many months. If you want to learn and train MMA, Sityodtong is the place to go.”

- Michael O’Shea

“I just show up and I fight. Mark (DellaGrotte) has the plan; he’s in control … I listen. Mark’s there, he walks me through what to do and you know I’m just always prepared.”

- Marcus Davis

“As a fighter, you want a trainer you feel you can trust and who has been there, who knows how you’ll feel and who knows how to motivate you and teach you new and better ways of doing things.Mark’s seen it. He’s smelled it. He’s tasted it. He’s so open-minded in his training, because he’s a student of the game, too. He’s always laughing and smiling when he’s working with you, because he has such passion for what he’s doing, but he’s the kind of guy who insists on precision and technique.”

- Kenny Florian

“My overall impression of Sityodtong USA was very positive. Though, you certainly don’t need me to tell you that. A reputation like DellaGrotte’s speaks for itself. However, Sityodtong USA is not just about the big names. Kru Mark and the other instructors put a great effort into building up young fighters and cultivating talent. We can expect to continue to see exciting things from that camp. Personally, I can’t wait to go back.” read full review
