Has been an avid martial arts lover since young and started boxing about 5 years ago taking part in local amateur fights as well. Boxing isn’t just 2 people trading blows with each other, it requires us to be tactical as well. Loves the idea that in boxing, there are many ways to react to a certain punch/situation and there are many different skills for us to learn. It puts a smile on my face to teach and to see people enjoying my lessons, improving themselves in the process. I am looking forward to share my knowledge with the community.

Other credentials include:
Taekwondo black belt
Trainer for police defence tactics NS

Started my boxing journey back in 2008 with a dozen of unrecorded amateur fights in (Thailand, US & Singapore).

Due to circumstances, there were times, I wanted to hang my gloves but it kept crawling back to my fist till today.

Boxing is sport that brought me out of depression, moulded me to a confident individual and taught me the true meaning of resilience.

My new journey has started as a trainer with Spartans Boxing Club. I'll try to share my knowledge and bring out the Spartan within you.
