We had the good fortune of connecting with Kru Izzy Zuniga and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kru Izzy, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
I’ll start by saying my family, because without them I wouldn’t have the motivation to be the best role model for them, my students, and the Muay Thai community; secondly, to share my knowledge of this sport and transmit my passion for Muay Thai.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
What I believe sets me apart is the confidence I instill in my students or anyone who comes to the gym. What makes me proud is the perseverance to get to where I am, always believing in myself and facing sacrifices, perseverance, and discipline.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I’d take him to Kemah, to enjoy a walk in the fresh air. Maybe to Galveston, depending on the season. I’d take him motorcycle riding.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
To my wife, although I wouldn’t say a little recognition, I would say the same percentage for both, since her unconditional support was always there.
