My Story
I had my first Muay Thai fight at just 9 years old, growing up in a small village in the PraJuab province I had a thirst for fighting that I couldn’t explain… cut forward 20 years and 100 fights later I discovered that my father too was a Muay Thai enthusiast; It was then that I realised that Muay Thai is in my blood.
