👏 Congratulations to Bradley! 👏

Congratulations to .pt on successfully completing the Sumalee Pad Holder Certification Course with phirun waenwong ! 🥊🇹🇭

Throughout the course, Bradley dedicated himself to learning the fundamentals of professional pad holding—from correct positioning and timing to effective communication and creating productive, challenging training sessions.

Great pad holders don’t just catch punches and kicks—they help athletes improve their technique, confidence, fitness, and fight IQ. Bradley approached every session with enthusiasm, worked hard, and showed excellent progress throughout the week.

A big thank you to Kru Ruune for sharing his knowledge and experience, helping the next generation of pad holders develop the skills needed to support fighters at every level.

Well done, Bradley. We look forward to seeing you put your new skills into action!

👏 Congratulations to Miranda! 👏

A huge well done to Miranda Miranda Ma on successfully completing the Sumalee Pad Holder Certification Course with Kru Sam Sumalee . 🇹🇭🥊

Over the past week, Miranda has worked hard to develop the skills that make great pad holders so valuable — learning how to hold safely, communicate effectively, improve fighter performance, and get the most out of every training session.

Pad holding is an art in itself, requiring timing, awareness, technical understanding, and plenty of energy. Miranda embraced every challenge and showed great commitment throughout the course.

We’re proud of your achievement and excited to see how you use your new skills in the future.

Congratulations once again, Miranda! 🙌

Not every victory is measured by a medal.

Last week, Nong Dom proudly represented Sumalee Boxing Gym and Thailand at the IFMA School World Championships in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Dom showed incredible courage, determination, and composure to win his opening bout against Muhammed Qaliff Iman Mohd Khairul.

Unfortunately, he suffered a foot injury during the tournament which prevented him from progressing further in the next round. He lost on points to his next opponent.

While the result wasn’t what we all hoped for, we couldn’t be prouder of the effort, discipline, and heart he showed on the international stage.

For a young athlete to step into the ring against some of the best school-age competitors in the world takes real bravery. The experience gained this week will help shape Dom into an even stronger athlete in the years ahead.

A huge thank you also goes to our coaching team, who dedicated their time, knowledge, and energy to preparing and supporting Dom throughout this journey. Their commitment to developing the next generation of athletes is something we’re incredibly proud of.

Finally, thank you to the entire Sumalee family. Your encouragement, donations, messages, and support helped make this opportunity possible.

The journey continues. Rest up, recover well, and come back stronger, Dom. We’re all behind you. 🇹🇭🥊

Happy Birthday Dominic Senpan 🎂!

Thank you for showing up consistently and giving your all at Sumalee.

You’re an asset to yourself and your family.

For a young athlete, opportunities like this can be life-changing, and we are incredibly proud to see Dom stepping onto the international stage to test himself against some of the best young Muay Thai athletes from around the world.

A trip like this is never possible through hard work alone.

In Loving Memory of Her Royal Highness Princess Bajrakitiyabha Narendiradebyavati (“Princess Pa”)

The Sumalee Boxing Gym family joins the people of Thailand in mourning the passing of Her Royal Highness Princess Bajrakitiyabha Narendiradebyavati Kromluangrajasarinisiribajra Mahavajrarajadhita. The Royal Household announced her passing on 11 June 2026 following a prolonged illness.

Her Royal Highness dedicated her life to public service, justice, diplomacy, and the welfare of the Thai people. She will be remembered not only for her distinguished service to the Kingdom, but also for her compassion, intelligence, and unwavering commitment to improving the lives of others.

As a proud member of the Phuket community, we extend our deepest condolences to His Majesty the King, the Royal Family, and all Thai people during this time of national grief.

May her legacy continue to inspire future generations through her service, dignity, and devotion to Thailand.

With deepest respect,

The Sumalee Boxing Gym Family
