Coming from a Muay Thai family, the sport has been a part of Kru Sids life since he was a toddler. Training every since he could walk, Sid began competing when he was only 7 years old. For 20 years he competed in Muay Thai, racking up more than 300 professional fights. After becoming a World Champion and fighting on the sports biggest stages for over 5 years, Kru Sid retired to turn his attention to training.
Since becoming a trainer, Sid has worked at his father’s world renown gym in Ayuthaya, Thailand. He has also traveled the world from Chile to England teaching his craft. He received a lot of notoriety while being the head instructor at England’s Amazing Thailand festival. Kru Sid was also a featured trainer on the Fight Quest TV show.
Coming to AKA Thailand will be the first time Kru Sid will teach in Thailand away from his fathers gym. He has been training fighters there for the last 6 years, but saw this as an amazing opportunity to teach in one of Thailand’s newest and biggest gyms.
Mike Swick had this to say about Sid… “After meeting Kru Sid and training with him, I hired him on the spot. Sometimes you just know when you have something good and I really see something special with this guy. Not only does he have a great personality but he creates a challenging and technical session that leaves you feeling fulfilled and improved each time. He is one of my favorite trainers to work with.”
