Dee is now 25 and started fighting when he was 7 years old, his interest having been stimulated by his older brother (fighting name: Sameelaa) who was the South Thailand Champion. In common with Sing, Dee comes from Songkhla. He started off his training at the Satseetong Gym in Songhkla. At the age of 15, Dee went to Bangkok to train at Loogtapagat Gym. This is the same gym as Sing and a number of our other trainers trained at. This gym has produced a number of great champions including the owner, Wanpaded who was a Ratchadermnoen Champion.   Three years ago Dee came to Sinbi Muay Thai to train and is now the gym’s resident Thai figher. He was South Thailand Champion at 80 lbs, when he was 12 years old. He is the current South Thailand Champion at 122lbs. He has fought at Lumpinee 30 times and won 20. He has also fought at Ratchadamnoen 30 times and won 18 times. To date, some of Dee’s most notable fights were against: Ponsanai from Sitmonchai Gym, which he lost; Sorsai from Torpatadoing Gym which he won; and Farmai from Sakindeow Gym which he also won. Dee regularly fights in all Thai shows throughout Thailand.

Amateur Champion NRW in 2006 - Germany
 

Nico is from Germany and became interested in martial arts at a very young age. He started Karate at 7 and eventually became a Brown Belt in this discipline. His interest in fighting arose as a result of playing the computer game Mortal Combat with his brother. He wanted to be a good fighter too. Although he tried other sports like Ice Hockey and Football, nothing else gave him the same level of satisfaction and enjoyment as fighting did. From the age of 8 when he started Kick Boxing and Muay Thai he was hooked!

 

When he was 12 years old, he started coming to Thailand every year to train for a month. Initially, he went to Jelarertong Gym in Bangkok where he met Met, a trainer he formed a particular attachment to. Met gave Nico his Thai fighting name Insithong. This the Thai word for Golden Eagle – a golden eagle is a graphic which appears on all German passports. In the past, Met was also trained Sing (and a number of our other trainers). When Sing opened Sinbi Muay Thai, Met came to Phuket to work at the gym and therefore it was only natural to Nico that he would come to Sinbi to train too.

 

In Germany Nico was Amateur Champion NRW in 2005. However, it was not easy for him to get fights in Germany and at the age of 17 Nico realised that if he wanted to fulfill his dream of becoming a great fighter, then he would have to come and train in Thailand on a permanent basis. He left his family and came alone to settle in Phuket and train at Sinbi Gym. He has now been at the gym for about 18 months and since he has been here has been able to gain considerable fight experience. He has had 20 fights so far and won 16 of them. He went to Germany with Dee and Saenchai to fight last year. He fought Petsao and won. He has fought in Korea twice and he fought in Bangkok for the Queen’s birthday.

Ranked Number 1 Ratchadamnoen Stadium

Ann's father was a figher so it was natural for him to become a fighter too.  He comes from Sutan in the South of Thailand and started boxing at the age of 7.  The gym he trained at in Sutan was called Torsamakom.  He had his first fight at the age of 7.  He was South Thailand Champion at 105 lbs (15 years old) and 118 lbs (18 years old).  He went to Bangkok to train at the age of 15 and trained at the Chuwattana Gym.  His manager was Chujuran, a well known promoter at Ratchadamnoen Stadium.  His most memorable fights were against Orono from Majestic Gym  and Jarunchai from Kasa Gym.  During the peak of his fighting career he fought in Japan 8 times, Korea twice and Holland once.  He was the WMC Champion at 130 lbs (i.e. World Number 1) and this fight took place in Holland.  At the age of 23 he decided to sacrifice his place as one of the top ranked fighters at Ratchadamnoen in order to study.  He went to Chankasem University to study Sports Science.  As soon as he finished university, however, he went back to his first love - Muay Thai and became a trainer at Sinbi Muay Thai.  He has recently resumed his fighting career and has recently put in some impressive performances at Bangla Stadium in Patong, Phuket.  He also had the opportunity to spar with Saenchai at an event put on by Sinbi Promotions at Bangla Stadium.  As Ann is still only 27, we are optimistic that his fighting career is by no means over.
