Aaron Ropac is a Muay Thai instructor with over 15 years of experience in striking and combat sports. He is the founder and head coach of Ropac Muay Thai (RMT), where he has trained youth and adult athletes with an emphasis on technical fundamentals, discipline, and sustainable progress. At Pro Depth Jiu-Jitsu he brings that same standard to the striking side of the academy, coaching students who are stepping onto the pads for the first time as well as athletes preparing to compete.
Teaching Philosophy
Aaron blends traditional Muay Thai with modern training principles to develop efficient, confident, and resilient athletes. His classes are built around accountability, consistency, and long-term development rather than quick results, so students learn the mechanics properly before adding speed and power. He runs structured programs for kids, adults, and competitive fighters, and his goal for every student is the same: build strength, confidence, and mental toughness that hold up inside and outside the gym.
That approach is grounded in his own experience. Aaron has personally lost over 140 pounds through disciplined training and nutrition, which gives him real credibility when he talks to students about weight management, conditioning, and lasting lifestyle change.
