Sittiphong, known in the ring as “Den Neua Eminent Air,” is the heart of Sittiphong Muay Thai. Coming from a family of champions, his legacy as a Muay Femur master was built on the foundation laid by his father and brother—both accomplished fighters. With over 30 years of experience, more than 500 fights, and the prestigious title of 2x Thailand Champion, Kru Sittiphong has dedicated his life to the art of Muay Thai. As a licensed teacher through Thailand’s Kru Muay Thai Association (KMA), holding a Khan Level 12 and Mongkol Level 2 certification, he has the authority to grade students and guide them toward mastery.

But what sets Sittiphong apart is not just his technical mastery—it is his raw, battle-hardened experience that few modern fighters can claim. He has fought not only under the lights of stadiums but also in the brutal world of Muay Boran, the ancient predecessor of Muay Thai. A testament to this was his fight in Myanmar, where the rules were vastly different from those in Thailand. In the middle of the bout, his Burmese opponent suddenly headbutted him, shattering his nose. In Thailand’s modern Muay Thai, this would have been an immediate foul—but here, it was completely legal. Bloodied but unfazed, Sittiphong’s warrior spirit ignited. He refused to back down.

With the searing pain of his broken nose fueling his resolve, he struck back with a devastating, perfectly timed elbow, splitting his opponent’s nose down the middle and forcing the fight to be stopped. 21 stitches later, his opponent was defeated by TKO.

This was the brutal reality of Muay Boran—a raw, untamed version of the art, where fighters clinch with their hands wrapped in rope instead of gloves, and rather than traditional strikes, opponents would even aim for the eyes instead of landing punches. A true return to the warrior days of Muay Boran.

Most modern fighters will never experience this kind of fight. This is why Sittiphong is excited to introduce Muay Boran on select Saturdays at Sittiphong Muay Thai. Students will have the rare opportunity to learn the art of rope-wrapped combat in a safe and controlled environment—without the lethal elbows, of course. These sessions will focus on the techniques, strategy, and mentality of Muay Boran, giving students an authentic glimpse into the historical roots of the art.

As a child, Sittiphong was inspired by the legendary Saenchai Sor Kingstar, an original Muay Femur master known for his strategy, timing, and elusive footwork. His fighting style was also shaped by greats like Superlek and Buakaw Banchamek, blending precision, intelligence, and adaptability rather than relying solely on brute strength. Now, as a teacher, he offers students a rare opportunity to learn from a fighter of the same generation as these legends—a chance to train under a true master of the art.

With his deep roots in both modern Muay Thai and the ancient traditions of Muay Boran, Kru Sittiphong’s teachings are unlike anything found in mainstream gyms. Students at **Sittiphong Muay Thai won’t just train—they will be immersed in the art, culture, and warrior spirit that define Thailand’s most revered martial tradition.
