Muay Thai Academy in Pattya

• SitYodtong 

 

Master Yodtong Senanan the legend.

There are more than 5 Muay Thai academies in Pattaya just like I told all you guys in the previous post, and I also mentioned SitYodtong is, for me, the best. How come and why I rank it as the best, the following information will hopefully support what I said.

A Ratchaburi province born boy Yodtong interested in Muay Thai since he was in his little childhood already until the destiny led him to meet Sithidech and become his first boxing master. The first fight of Yodtong took place during the annual festival in Bangkok’s Ratchdamnoen and Lumpini stadiums. During childish and teenage stage of life, Yodtong has relocated his settlement for several times until the destiny directed him to settle down with the famous boxer that time Suwan Senanan boxing camp, it’s the time Yodtong’s title had been changed from Erawan Sitsorn to Yodtong Senanan until his last day on earth.
                                                                 
On top of his Muay Thai deep passion, Yodtong is also a bookworm – with his healthy brain he could remember boxing delicate gestures really quick and leads to regular practice in his own way. Even though he has to face many difficulties in life to challenge, still he never seems to give up on anything at all – begins as a normal village boy to be one of the most world well-known boxer and Muay Thai master, it’s something indescribable. This is the reason why he is titled one of the ‘Muay Thai Legends’
