MEET OUR HEAD INSTRUCTOR
Hello! My name is Janelle Kleftis and I am the Owner and Head Instructor of Muay Thai Beyond Limits. It has been a long-term goal of mine to combine my martial arts background with my experience working with people with disabilities to create a safe and inclusive martial arts program.
I have over 17 years of childcare experience and have over 10 years of experience working with children and adults with disabilities.
I started training Muay Thai in 2015 in Thailand and have since then taught Muay Thai and Kickboxing to both children and adults for over three years. My mother, an occupational therapist and wonderful human being is and always has been my inspiration. It is my goal to provide a safe and welcoming environment for my students and their support system, a place where they can feel embraced and understood. I can’t wait to share with you all the amazing benefits gained through martial arts!
OUR PROGRAMS
At Muay Thai Beyond Limits, we offer classes for children and adults, starting at age 2.5 through age 70 and above! Our classes are divided up by age range. Our program is inclusive (everyone is welcome!) and we focus on adapting our space and teaching style to make it accessible for children and adults with disabilities. We cap classes at 4 students per class for our 3 to 5 age group with a student to teacher ratio of 2:1. We cap all other classes (6 to 11, 12 to 17, and 18+ age groups) at 6 students per class with a student to teacher ratio of 3:1. Classes are currently being offered in Lakewood, CO and Denver, CO.
