Hi, my name is Dave Gallo

Welcome to Sor. Ploenjit Muay Thai. If you’re looking for real martial arts training, not watered down workouts you are in the right place.

For over 15 years, I have  helped students ages 10 to 78 build real lifel skill, confidence, and discipline through authentic Muay Thai,  Kickboxing and Traditional Wing Chun. Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced fighter, my goal is simple, help you become stronger, sharper, and even more capable physically and mentally.

I am the only instructor in Connecticut certified under a true Muay Thai champion, and I’ve trained alongside some of the best fighters and coaches in the world. I have also worked with professional fighters, including athletes competing in the UFC.

But what matters most isn’t titles, it’s results.

My students don’t just work out.  They learn real techniques, real self defense skills, and develop the kind of confidence that carries into their everyday life. Every class is structured, intentional, and designed to meet you where you are while pushing you to the next level.

No egos here. No gimmicks. Just real training that delivers real results.

WHAT IS MUAY THAI

Muay Thai, known as  the “Art of Eight Limbs,” is a dynamic and powerful striking art that uses punching, kicking, elbows, and knees to create a complete stand up fighting system. It originated in Thailand, Muay Thai is known for its easy to learn but extreme effectiveness, discipline, and cultural tradition.
