Every person carries a strength within them a strength waiting to be discovered.
My own journey began many years ago, following my passion for combat sports. I’m Rıza Polat, and I have lived my entire life surrounded by sports. For more than 35 years, I have gained experience in Muay Thai, boxing and self-defense.
I believe every individual has innate talents. Over time, I discovered my own path and stayed true to myself. I never tried to imitate anyone, but I always chose to work with people who were more experienced than me people who could help me grow. This allowed me to continuously improve and learn from many exceptional coaches.
Throughout my coaching career, I have trained numerous athletes and coaches. All of them were respectful, dedicated individuals. I am especially proud of my student Gülsüm Tatar Kaptan, who has achieved world and European championship titles.
Discipline is the foundation of my training philosophy. To be disciplined is to control your actions, manage your emotions and make the right decisions. No matter how much an athlete trains technically or physically, true success is impossible without discipline.
My door is open to anyone of any age or level who wants to improve through sport. Regardless of gender, I take pride in sharing my knowledge and experience within a respectful environment.
In my sessions, I pass on my expertise in boxing, Muay Thai and self-defense. My goal is to help students reach the highest level of their own potential through discipline, consistency and dedication. I am here to guide you on that journey.
