Stacy Dolby - Assistant Kru/ Instructor
Student Services Manager
Mrs. Stacy has been involved in athletics for over 25 years. Before succumbing to a knee injury in 1999, she competed in softball and soccer up to the collegiate and club level. As a single mother of two (Annamarie and Danny) she continued to follow her passion for health and fitness by becoming Certified Massage Therapist and has worked with local professional teams, such as the Hampton Roads Admirals, the Virginia Beach Mariners, and the Norfolk Night Hawks since 1995.
In August of 2001, Stacy began training in Muay Thai for the sake of exercise and became hooked! Over the period of 3 years, her interest peaked and in 2004, the athlete in her compelled Stacy to compete in the W.K.A U.S National Tournament for Muay Thai Kickboxing. In her first match ever, she won by unanimous decision and became the W.K.A U.S Champion, thus kicking off her amateur career as a Muay Thai fighter. One year later, she competed in the W.K.A World Championships after qualifying for the U.S Team, and became a world bronze medalist in the Kickboxing division.
In April of 2006, Ms. Stacy received her certification as an Assistant Kru/ Instructor in Muay Thai from Master Toddy under the M.T.I.A (Muay Thai International Association). Dedicating most of her time now to teaching and administration, she still plays a pivotal roll in the tutelage of our up and coming fighters and is considered the “Team Mom” and backbone of our beloved school.
