His Story
Coach Nigel's journey in Muay Thai began at the age of 14, driven by a passion for fighting that ignited his lifelong dedication to the sport. Training both in Singapore and Thailand, Coach Nigel honed his skills as a fighter and sought to share his accumulated knowledge with aspiring martial artists.
​
His path as a Muay Thai competitor faced challenges early on, lacking proper coaching support. Coach Nigel persevered by self-training, studying videos, and learning techniques used by international competitors in hopes of applying them effectively in his own fights. Upon joining a reputable gym, Coach Nigel finally had the guidance he needed to refine his training methods and develop as both a fighter and coach.
​
Despite being a smaller fighter, Coach Nigel consistently challenged himself by competing in higher weight classes where opponents were larger and heavier. This strategy proved successful when, in 2019, he claimed the title of Singapore Kickboxing Champion after overcoming heavier opponents by leveraging their size against them with strategic technique.
​
In 2020, Coach Nigel faced a setback in a bout against the former WMO Singapore Pro-Amateur Super Lightweight Champion, but this fuelled his determination to further enhance his skills. In 2022, after rigorous training in Thailand—twice daily, six days a week for a month—Coach Nigel returned prepared to compete for the championship title once more. His intensive training not only immersed him in Thai training methods but also elevated his personal standards for improvement. This dedication paid off as Coach Nigel emerged victorious, securing the title of WMO Singapore Pro-Amateur Super Lightweight Champion.
​
Coach Nigel's journey exemplifies resilience, determination, and the pursuit of excellence in Muay Thai, both as a competitor and a coach dedicated to passing on his expertise to future generations of fighters.
