Scaling Muay Thai and Striking Programs - Sean Madden (E53)

About this episode

Eliot Marshall and Sean Madden discuss the evolution of Easton's Muay Thai program into a scalable curriculum.

In this episode, Eliot Marshall and Easton Muay Thai Program Director Sean Madden break down how Easton evolved from a fighter-run striking program into a scalable, system-driven curriculum that now serves thousands of students. They discuss why passion and talent aren't enough, why Muay Thai gyms often struggle with structure, and the key systems that allowed Easton's program to grow across multiple academies. If you want your striking program to move beyond the same 30–50 students, this episode shows you how to build something that lasts.
