BUILT IN ESSEX. BACKED BY DIESEL GYM LONDON.
Diesel Gym Essex brings one of London's most storied combat sports brands to Essex. This isn't a new gym — it's a new location for a name that has been producing champions, fighters, and serious martial artists since 2003.
The Diesel story begins with Kru Cliff Bura. A martial artist with over 40 years of coaching experience, Cliff earned his first black belt in 1984 and has dedicated his life to the study and teaching of combat sports. His Muay Thai journey was shaped by the legendary Grandmaster Sken Kaewpadung, one of the most respected names in the art.
In 2003, Cliff founded the London Sitnarong Camp — which grew into the Diesel Muay Thai Team and ultimately became Diesel Gym London in 2008. Born in London's East End, the gym quickly became one of the most recognised MMA and Muay Thai gyms in the UK, producing champions across Muay Thai, MMA, grappling and No Gi.
CLIFF BURA
Founder & Head Coach — Diesel Gym
Cliff has been coaching martial arts for over 40 years, earning his first black belt in 1984. His Muay Thai was forged under the legendary Grandmaster Sken Kaewpadung, and he has thousands of students and champions to his name. He founded the London Sitnarong camp in 2003 and Diesel Gym London in 2008 — now one of the UK's most internationally recognised combat sports gyms. He is responsible for all aspects of the Diesel brand and takes an active role in ensuring coaching standards are maintained to the highest level across every location.
