Meet the Founder
Kieran Keddle is a former 3-time world Muay Thai champion who held the UK No.1 ranking for eight straight years and made history as the first British fighter to compete at both Lumpinee and Rajadamnern Stadiums in Bangkok. Across 78 professional fights he built a reputation for elite striking and durability on stages from Thailand to Japan to Morocco.
Today he's ranked among the world's top 10 striking coaches, has developed 23 world champions, trained Idris Elba for the Discovery series Fighter, and founded Canada's leading pro Muay Thai promotion. Now he leads KK Academy across Alberta — bringing world-class striking to your doorstep.
A true mentor and champion of the sport who has profoundly impacted my life — his dedication to the right training for his students is unmatched.Quinn Wasylak — WBC Super Welterweight Champion
What You'll Train
Whether you're chasing a title or stepping in for the first time — no ego, no excuses, just real results.
The art of eight limbs, taught by a world champion. Technical striking from fundamentals to fight camp.
Sharp, explosive striking for competition or conditioning — the discipline that put Idris Elba in the ring.
Blend striking and grappling with coaches who've cornered pros in the UFC and ONE.
Beginner-friendly fundamentals through advanced rolls, led by belted competitors who love teaching.
As Seen On Discovery
Kieran coached actor Idris Elba to a winning professional boxing debut at York Hall — a journey documented in the Discovery Channel series Idris Elba: Fighter. The same elite coaching is on the mat at every KK Academy.
