About the Event

Join Boombox in welcoming back International Martial Arts Superstar Instructor, Rick Faye!

UPDATE: MKG Kickboxing and Kali blocks are SOLD OUT— but fear not! We are working on finding a larger location! Please email mkgdetroit@gmail.com or reach out to Kurt Cornwell on Facebook to be added to the Waiting List!

This is our first time hosting Sifu/Guro Rick since 2022, and this time, we’re trying something new! This event will be broken into individual 2.5-3 hour “Training Blocks”, each one offering Guro Rick’s unique perspective a specific topic. You can choose to attend whatever blocks suit your interests and goals, and enjoy increasing discounts for every block you add to your event registration!

All experience levels are welcomed to attend all events besides the Instructor Block. For information on attending that block, and joining the MKG Instructor Group, please contact event host Kurt Cornwell directly.

Some equipment will be provided as needed, but please bring what you have relative to the blocks you’ve chosen. We also advise bringing water and light refreshments, as well as a notebook. No filming of instruction allowed, though you can film yourself for future training reference. Please no shoes on the mats. Parking is available on multiple side streets around the gym, as well as in our small lot out front.

About Guro RIck
Rick Faye is the Founder and Head Instructor of the famed MKG International Family of Martial Artists, and the MKG Method. He has been sought out globally for his expert instruction in all things Jeet Kune Do, Muay Thai, and the Filipino Martial Arts, over the course of multiple decades. His friendly, funny, casual teaching style makes him distinct in the Martial Arts world, and is why the MKG organization has a reputation for inclusivity in training. His organization has branch schools and affiliate schools all over the globe, including Boombox, which acts as the Michigan MKG Headquarters. Having achieved the highest rank possible under Martial Arts Legend Dan Inosanto (Bruce Lee’s best friend and training partner), and under the equally legendary Chai Sirisute (the man first responsible for bringing Muay Thai to America), Guro Rick is also known for bringing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to Minnesota (he was the first BJJ Blue Belt in the state’s history), teaching modern-day icons like Erik Paulson (early MMA Champion and pioneer) and David Leitch (who brought us the John Wick films and Deadpool 2), and for his countless contributions to Catch Wrestling, Wing Chun Kung Fu, Indonesian Silat, and a variety of other styles of Martial Arts.
