Muay Thai is PAIN. Kru Bunpot was a promising young fighter climbing the ranks of the prestigious stadium circuit in Bangkok, when a knee injury sadly cut short his fight career.

Despite the pain, he couldn’t stay away from the sport he loves. Today, he’s a highly sought after trainer known for his dominant clinch style and a meticulous eye for coaching. You might have also seen him rag dolling Saenchai in a viral training video. This is his story.
