Bangtao Muay Thai & MMA is set to host one of the most anticipated combat sports events of the year as Israel “The Last Stylebender” Adesanya makes his first seminar appearance at our facility, joined by none other than Eugene Bareman, head coach of the world-renowned City Kickboxing.
Across Saturday 29 November and Sunday 30 November, fans, athletes, and aspiring martial artists will experience two days of elite-level insight from one of the greatest strikers in MMA history and the mastermind behind multiple UFC world champions.
This is a rare opportunity to learn directly from a generational athlete and a world-class coach in an intimate, hands-on environment.
A Champion Unlike Any Other
Israel Adesanya is widely regarded as one of the most skilled and innovative fighters of his era.
A former two-time UFC Middleweight Champion, Adesanya built his legacy on precision striking, unshakeable composure, and a level of creativity rarely seen at the highest level.
Before conquering MMA, Adesanya forged a high-level kickboxing career, developing the rhythm, timing, and character that would later define his UFC run. His mastery of distance, fluid movement, traps, and counterstriking made him one of the most studied athletes in modern combat sports.
He is a technician, an entertainer, and one of the most influential athletes to ever compete, and for the first time, he brings that experience to Bangtao.
The Architect Behind the Success: Eugene Bareman
If Adesanya is the weapon, Eugene Bareman is the engineer.
As the founder of City Kickboxing, Bareman has built one of MMA’s most influential teams, guiding athletes like Israel Adesanya, Alexander Volkanovski, Dan Hooker, and Kai Kara-France. His emphasis on structure, clear decision-making, and an authentic fighter-first environment has shaped a generation of high-level competitors.
Together, Adesanya and Bareman represent a rare blend of championship experience and elite coaching insight, and this two-day event brings their knowledge directly to Phuket.
