Bai Lang Kickboxing Academy

We have just had the most amazing experience with K-1 Champion and One Championship super star Yuki Yoza - all the way from Japan! 🇯🇵

Probably the most talked about Kickboxer right now due to his exciting style, polished Japanese skillset and unorthodox signature techniques.

We at Bailang Kickboxing Academy (in conjunction with my brand INSPIRED ) are so thankful that he chose to visit us having never been to the UK and being highly sort after. Literally next level idol stuff for me, my son and my members this!

Everyone has been blowing up their socials with pictures, videos and so much hype from a fantastic seminar! Big thank you to for his amazing help in Japanese translation where needed.

Having spent so much time over the 3 days with Yuki, I can confirm he is a fantastic human being as well as obviously a great athlete. An absolute pleasure to begin to know and thankful I can call a friend. People warn about meeting their idols but this isn’t the case at all! My son is buzzing and tells Yuki he wants to be a ONE Championship champion one day ❤️

We shall have him back in the UK next year I am very sure! Maybe sooner than you think.

Thank you so much for everything Yuki 🙏🏽
ユウキ、本当にありがとうございました！

This is turning into one hell of a passion project! 🔥

Four of my favourite fighters, with an insane list of achievements between them. I’m genuinely honoured to bring this level of talent to Bai Lang.

🥇 Chico “Luffy” Kwasi — Mike’s Gym star, fellow anime fan and now a two-weight GLORY World Champion. Only the second fighter after Alex Pereira to hold two GLORY belts simultaneously. We hosted Chico for an amazing seminar in June.

🥇 Yuki Yoza — former Kyokushin Karate Champion and K-1 Lightweight World Champion, now a huge name in ONE Championship. His signature techniques are taking the sport by storm—and this Saturday, he comes to Bai Lang on his first-ever visit to the UK!

🥇 Petchpanomrung Kiatmoo9 — Thailand’s devastating southpaw, with more than 220 professional fights and nine successful GLORY Featherweight World Title defences. One of the best pound-for-pound fighters, with one of the most destructive left kicks on the planet. At Bai Lang on 18 September!

🥇 Giorgio Petrosyan — for me, arguably the greatest kickboxer EVER. Two-time K-1 World MAX Champion, GLORY Slam Tournament Champion, WAKO Pro World Champion, ISKA World Champion and 2019 ONE Featherweight Kickboxing World Grand Prix Champion. Final record: 109 wins, only 3 losses, 2 draws and 2 no contests. Unbelievable.

This is a genuine passion project—bringing my idols into my gym so our members, and my son ❤️, can learn from the most elite skillsets on the planet.

It also brings together INSPIRED Fightwear, which I’m rebuilding and relaunching, and Bai Lang, which I’m pushing towards becoming one of the UK’s top five kickboxing gyms.

And I haven’t stopped yet… Who should I bring to Bai Lang next? 👀

Ok, I’ve teased alittle in a previous post… now let’s officially announce it! On Friday 18th September, we have petchpanomrung_kiatmoo_9 and coming to Bai Lang Kickboxing. I am super excited as a fellow southpaw myself and having soooo many southpaws in the gym. We have arguably one of the biggest left kickers on the planet! Showing how has absolutely dominated the Glory Kickboxing Featherweight division with his perfect range control, teeps and devastating left kicks. Watching him live in Lille, France and hearing the kicks before the huge flying round kick KO has made me a massive fan, and to have him at our gym is just awesome! That’s Chico Kwasi, Yuki Yoza and now Petch all inside the space of afew months!!

Landing page coming soon and limited spaces with early tickets exclusive to Bai Lang members firstly.

This will be another seminar arranged by my brand INSPIRED

Wow! As if having 2 weight Glory Kickboxing Champion Chico Kwasi in June, and K-1 and One Championship superstar Yuki Yoza over in 2 weeks wasn’t enough!!!

We have another seminar to announce shortly! Another Glory Champion, and one of the biggest kickers on the planet! Can you guess?

Spaces will be allocated to those that have supported previous seminars first and details will be announced shortly.
