About me

I’m the founder of Troyan Studio. I started training as a kid, then came competition, then professional fighting, and then the moment I realized I wanted to run a club where everyone — from day one — feels like part of the team, not another number on a pass.

How I coach

On the mat, I care about one thing: that you leave the session knowing exactly what worked and what we’re fixing. No junk rounds “just to tire you out.” Every set serves a specific technical or conditioning goal.

About me

I’ve been training since 2012 and coaching groups and personal sessions since 2016. I went from an athlete walking onto the mat nervous to a coach who knows when a fighter needs a technique correction, and when they just need a breath.

What I coach

Muay thai — group classes — full program: clinch, knees, elbows, low kicks.
Personal sessions — boxing, kickboxing, muay thai. We work on whatever specifically blocks your progress.

How I work

I love the moment when someone starts to land it. Not the adrenaline, not the flashy combinations — the second when you feel the reflex fire, the leg plant itself right, the shot flow in motion. That moment is what I build the entire program around.

About me

Igor Shkondin — in the ring since 2005, coaching since 2017. Along the way came dozens of fights, far more sparring rounds, and a medal at the Ukrainian Championship. Now I bring that experience onto the Troyan Studio floor.

What I coach

Boxing — group classes — technique, footwork, defense, controlled partner work.
Personal sessions — focused work on a specific problem: first sparring, return after a break, fight-prep.

How I work

I believe a client putting on gloves for the first time deserves the exact same attention as a heavyweight athlete: respect, calm explanation, a concrete progression. Shouting from the corner won’t help anyone learn faster — patience and repetitions do.

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

About me

I’ve been training since 2010 and coaching since 2017. What gives me the most satisfaction is seeing my knowledge and experience genuinely help people become better — technically, physically, and mentally.

What I coach

Personal training — boxing, kickboxing, muay thai; adults and kids.
Kickboxing 15+ groups — technique, combinations, conditioning, and controlled intensity.

How I work

I combine competitive standards with attentive coaching. Beginners need safety and clear explanations, while advanced athletes need technical detail, pace, and consistency. In both cases the goal is real progress, not just making it through a hard session.

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

About me

I’m an active fighter who’s been in combat sports since 2016 and coaching since 2021. In training I pass on practical experience, not theory from a book — things tested in fights, sparring, and preparation.

What I coach

Personal training — boxing, kickboxing, and MMA.
Work with adults and kids — men, women, and younger athletes.

How I work

As an active fighter, I understand this sport from the inside, so I focus on practice that produces results. With kids I work differently than with adults — through engagement, interest, and discipline built without pressure.

Vadim Knyshevych

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

About me

I’ve been training since 2015 and coaching since 2018. What matters most to me in boxing and kickboxing is how consistent training genuinely makes people stronger — physically, technically, and mentally.

What I coach

Boxing — technique, fundamentals, combinations, pad work, and conditioning.
Kickboxing — stance, rhythm, timing, and practical use of combinations.

How I work

I focus on a professional but individual approach built on my own competitive experience. Some people need safety and a strong base first; others need more intensity and technical detail. In both cases I care about a clear plan and real progress.

About me

I’ve been boxing since 2016 and coaching since 2025. For me, coaching is a way to pass on my experience and help people get stronger — physically and mentally.

What I coach

Boxing — group classes — technique, footwork, defense, controlled partner work.

How I work

My goal is that you leave the gym not just tired, but with a clear picture: what you pulled off, what we’re still fixing, and where we go next time. I give the same attention to someone putting on gloves for the first time and to someone prepping for a competition.

About me

I’ve been in the boxing ring since 2017, and since 2024 I’ve been sharing that experience with my athletes. I train out of passion, and I genuinely enjoy watching people grow in this discipline, break through new barriers, and reach their goals with my help.

What I coach

Boxing — technical training, conditioning, core fundamentals, and confidence in the ring.

How I work

Boxing is one of the most demanding and most rewarding forms of activity. For me, boxing training means broad development — not just strengthening the body physically, but also building confidence, discipline, humility, and mental toughness through consistent work.

First combat sports training: what to bring and what to expect

Wed, 13 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The first combat sports session is rarely blocked by fitness alone. More often, the blocker is uncertainty: what to bring, whether you need your own equipment, whether the group will be too advanced, and whether contact starts immediately.

This guide is for someone walking into the gym for the first time: boxing, kickboxing, or muay thai, without buying a pass upfront and without pretending everything is obvious.

Who is a first combat sports session for?

For an adult who wants to try training but has no previous combat-sports experience. You do not need to know technique names, own a full equipment set, or arrive in peak shape.

Kickboxing for women in Krakow: mixed group or personal training?

Wed, 13 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

If you are looking for kickboxing for women in Krakow, the question is usually not only the discipline itself. You want to know whether the group will feel comfortable, whether you can come with no experience, whether sparring is required, and whether it is better to start with personal training.

At Troyan Studio, women train in mixed groups and personal sessions. We do not present a separate women-only group. This guide helps you decide which starting path makes more sense for you.

Muay thai for beginners in Krakow: how to start with no experience

Wed, 13 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Muay thai can look like a discipline only for advanced people: kicks, knees, elbows, clinch, and a lot of intensity. For a beginner, the more important question is different: whether training starts from the basics, whether the pace can be controlled, and whether you can walk in without previous experience.

At Troyan Studio, you can start with a single muay thai session in Krakow. You do not need to buy equipment straight away or understand the whole system. At the beginning, what matters is stance, guard, footwork, basic strikes, and clear communication with the coach.

Personal boxing training in Krakow: when one-on-one coaching makes sense

Wed, 13 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Personal boxing training is not only for fighters. For many adults in Krakow, one-on-one coaching is a practical way to start boxing without guessing what to do in a busy group, especially if you are new to combat sports, returning after a long break, or prefer clearer instruction in English.

At Troyan Studio, personal boxing training means one coach focused on your level, your pace, and the specific things you want to improve. It can be a calmer first step before joining a group, or a focused technical session alongside regular group training.

Boxing for beginners in Krakow: what the first month looks like

Tue, 12 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

If you are looking for beginner boxing in Krakow, the real blocker is usually not a lack of gloves. It is the questions around it: will my fitness be enough, will I have to spar right away, do I need to buy a pass, and will the group be years ahead of me?

At Troyan Studio you can start with a single drop-in instead of buying a pass upfront. This guide explains what the first month of boxing can realistically look like and what to ask the coach before stepping onto the floor.

Boxing, kickboxing, or muay thai — which martial art to pick

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The three most recognizable stand-up martial arts. At first glance, they differ by what they cover — boxing is hands only, kickboxing adds kicks, muay thai piles on elbows, knees, and the clinch. But that’s not the full comparison. Below, a practical coach’s take: what sets them apart, who each one suits, and what you actually learn.

Boxing — classic, foundational, precise

Techniques: hand strikes only, head and body. Four base shots (jab, cross, hook, uppercut) and their variants.

Martial arts for kids — when should they start?

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The question we hear most often in the gym: “My kid wants to start boxing — isn’t it too early?” Short answer: usually no. Long answer: it depends on age, temperament, and what you’re looking for.

At a glance — what age

5–7 years — mainly movement, coordination, gym rules, and technical elements through simple tasks.
8–10 years — more technique: stance, guard, punches, defense, and controlled partner drills.
11–14 years — more structured technical work, still with control and the coach’s decision leading the pace.
15+ years — often closer to youth or adult training, depending on level and group.

These are guidelines, not hard limits. At Troyan Studio, the group coach talks to you and your child, checks their level, and adapts — even if the kid is “too young” or “too old” for the standard group.

How to pick a combat sports club in Kraków — 7 questions worth asking

Fri, 17 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

There are dozens of combat sports clubs in Kraków. In photos, they all look similar — a ring, heavy bags, flexed arms. How do you pick the one you’ll actually stick with past the first month? A checklist to run through before buying your first pass.

1. Who actually runs the training?

Coach names, competitive background, teaching experience — all of that should be public. If the club’s site only says “experienced instructor,” that’s a warning sign. At Troyan Studio every coach is listed by name with their specialty.

Your first sparring session — what to expect and how to prepare

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Sparring is the moment training really starts. Until now it’s been mitts, bags, drills — now there’s a person in front of you who also has gloves on. That’s a significant mental barrier. A practical guide from the coaches at Troyan Studio on how to approach it.

When you’re ready for your first sparring

After 6–12 sessions — if you’re an adult beginner — you have the basics: stance, jab, cross, slips, distance. The coach may then say: “time to talk about a sparring block.” Not sooner. Clubs that throw beginners into sparring on their second session are making a mistake — it usually ends with a broken nose and the student never coming back.

A gym you want to come back to

Troyan Studio started from a simple idea: build a place where beginners and athletes looking for sparring train under one roof — with clear coaching, real attention, and no fake hype. Everything happens in our gym at Wrocławska 41.

We’re not a chain, we don’t run “by the numbers.” A 200 m² gym, a crew of experienced coaches, tight training groups. Walk into the gym and you see the same faces you saw last week. Besides the main floor, we also have a smaller private room for personal sessions — a good option if you want a calmer start.

Classic boxing — technique, conditioning, confidence

Boxing is a classic school of hand work: punches, defense, slips, feints, footwork, and rhythm. At Troyan Studio we train it in a structured format: warm-up, technique, pad and bag work, controlled partner work, and conditioning. Sparring runs in separate schedule blocks. There is a place for everyone — from someone who has never put on gloves to a more experienced athlete working on specific details.

Kickboxing in Kraków — Troyan Studio

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Kickboxing — the full range of hand and leg techniques

Kickboxing combines boxing hands with kicks. You train both sides of the body, both arms and both legs — this builds symmetry, coordination, and functional strength better than any pure strength training. At Troyan Studio we run kickboxing in the K-1 / amateur kickboxing format, emphasizing technique and controlled pair work.

What kickboxing gives you

Full-body training — arms, legs, trunk, cardiovascular endurance in one session
Self-defense — realistic range-kicking and clinch work
Mobility and flexibility — mid and high kicks stretch hips and glutes
Fun — fast pace and variety hold attention even at two sessions a week

Muay Thai in Kraków — Troyan Studio

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Muay thai — the Thai art of eight limbs

Muay thai is a broad stand-up striking style: fists, elbows, knees, kicks, and clinch in one system. In Thailand it is called “the art of eight limbs,” because you work with hands, legs, knees, and elbows. At Troyan Studio we train muay thai with emphasis on technique, distance control, clinch, and Thai pad work.

What muay thai gives you

A broad toolbox — every limb has its techniques, and training combines different ranges
Body toughening — bag kicks and Thai pad work build physical endurance
Clinch — short-range work that boxing and kickboxing don’t teach
Culture — muay thai isn’t just a sport; it’s discipline, tradition, respect (wai kru, sarama music)

Who it’s for

Muay thai at our gym draws:
