PHUKET, THAILAND. Bangtao Muay Thai & MMA will host British Muay Thai legend Liam “The Hitman” Harrison for a Muay Thai seminar in Phuket on Saturday 28 November 2026, from 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM. The eight-time world champion will teach the low kicks, setups and balance-breaking techniques that made him one of the most exciting fighters of his generation, then answer questions on the mats and take photos with everyone who trains.
Harrison started training at 13 at the Bad Company gym in Leeds under coach Richard Smith, and he has represented the gym ever since. Over a career of more than 100 professional fights, he has won world titles in both Muay Thai and kickboxing, including the WBC Muaythai world title in 2014 and the WBC Muay Thai Diamond belt in 2025.
Made for the big stage
Harrison became a household name with fight fans on ONE Championship. In April 2022 at ONE 156 in Singapore, he dropped Thai star Muangthai P.K. Saenchai three times on the way to a first-round TKO, one of the most talked-about comebacks in the promotion’s history. Months later he challenged Nong-O Gaiyanghadao for the ONE Bantamweight Muay Thai World Championship.
His low kick is his signature. It is the weapon behind many of his biggest wins, including his WBC Diamond belt victory over Isaac Araya in Manchester in March 2025, finished by a leg kick in the third round.
What to expect at the Muay Thai seminar
Over two and a half hours on the mats, this Muay Thai seminar breaks down the tools behind Harrison’s style:
- Low kicks that land with power and wear opponents down
- Setting up power KO shots, so the big shots land when it matters
- Fakes that draw reactions and open the target
- Sweeps and off-balancing techniques to win the exchanges inside and dump opponents
After the training, Harrison will hold a Q&A on the mats, so participants can ask him about fight preparation, his ONE Championship fights or anything else from more than two decades in the sport. Every participant will also get a photo with him.
The Muay Thai seminar suits fighters preparing for competition, kickboxers and MMA athletes who want sharper striking, and anyone training at Bangtao who wants to learn from one of the sport’s great entertainers.
