On the 21st of October, Advance was lucky to host Saenchai Sor Kingstar, one of the greatest Muay Thai fighters of all time, and currently the best Muay Thai fighter in Thailand. For those only involved in the world of MMA, this is the equivalent for Thai boxing, as having GSP or The Spider give a seminar!

Saenchai was in Australia to corner John Wayne Parr for his world title win against Yodsanklai in Melbourne the previous weekend. JWP was also in attendance at the seminar, translating for Saenchai as well as teaching, and helping convey the subtleties of Saenchai's technique.

A multitude of Muay Thai tactics were employed: crafty kicks and simple elbows, and tricks in the grapple. The participants were allowed to spar Saenchai at the end of class, some even succumbing to his patented cartwheel kick!

Everyone who attended had a great experience, and some were lucky enough to part with some signed shorts. To further support and help the growth of Muay Thai in Australia, it is always important that we attend seminars when legends like this come! Check www.dipmuaythai.com for more details!
