A rare opportunity to train with two of Muay Thai’s most elusive and decorated fighters.
Bangtao Muay Thai & MMA is proud to present a one-of-a-kind seminar featuring two of Muay Thai’s greatest champions, Samart Payakaroon and Lerdsila Chumpairtour. The event will take place on Saturday, January 11, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM, at Bangtao’s state-of-the-art training facility in Phuket. Fighters and fans alike will have the chance to learn directly from two masters of the sport who have redefined the art of Muay Thai with their unmatched skill and elusiveness.
Samart Payakaroon, often regarded as the greatest Muay Thai fighter of all time, is a four-division Lumpinee Stadium champion and a WBC World Super Bantamweight boxing champion. Known for his technical brilliance, Samart dominated the ring with his ability to read opponents, counter with precision, and avoid damage. His achievements have solidified his status as a legend not only in Muay Thai but also in professional boxing, where he became a world champion in 1986. His versatility and adaptability continue to inspire fighters across generations.
Joining Samart is Lerdsila Chumpairtour, a three-time Rajadamnern Stadium champion in three different weight classes. Famous for his lightning-fast reflexes, elusive defense, and ability to frustrate opponents with his movement, Lerdsila has earned the nickname “Slippery Eel.” Fresh off a victory in Karate Combat, Lerdsila has shown that even at this stage of his career, his skills remain unparalleled. His unique style, which blends traditional Muay Thai with modern strategies, has made him one of the sport’s most respected figures.
“Having these two legends at Bangtao Muay Thai & MMA is an incredible honor,” said Will Elliott, Managing Director at Bangtao Muay Thai & MMA. “Samart and Lerdsila are not just champions—they are innovators of the sport. Their ability to stay elusive and control fights is something every martial artist can learn from.”
The seminar will focus on the techniques and strategies that made these fighters virtually untouchable in the ring. Participants will gain insights into Samart’s mastery of timing, counter-striking, and ring IQ, as well as Lerdsila’s defensive movements, footwork, and counter-offensive tactics. This is a rare chance to learn from two icons who have shaped the history of Muay Thai.
