LET'S REWIND
Fights & Results
WARRIORS WAY
August 2nd
Eli
Lucas
Eli had his first fight under our banner, and his 16th overall - against one of Victoria’s most promising up-and-comers. From the start, he put on a commanding performance, combining explosive attacks with slick skill and evasive movement. The pressure paid off in dramatic fashion, with a fight stoppage caused by a push kick that opened up too large of a cut on his opponent. A dominant statement win.
Lucas made his professional debut against a taller, rangier, and more experienced opponent, and the crowd was treated to a thrilling back-and-forth battle. He impressed with explosive exchanges and looked to be edging ahead on points. Unfortunately, a clean right hand caught him, leading the referee to call a stoppage for safety. Despite the result, Lucas showed plenty of promise, and we’re excited to see him bounce back stronger in his next outing.

Andre C
At just 17 years old, Andre made his amateur debut and showed he’s a real force to watch. He put on a solid performance, bringing heavy hand pressure that had his opponent on the ropes. Unfortunately, the bout was stopped early in the third round due to a persistent nosebleed - right as Andre was closing in on what looked like a big finish. A promising debut with plenty more to come.
Luke O
Luke came away with a majority points win after a hard-fought performance. He worked tirelessly, listened well, and truly shined in the clinch - landing a string of sharp elbows. Beyond the technical display, this fight marked a big mental breakthrough for Luke, proving he’s still got plenty left to give in the ring. We hope to see more from him soon!
Sang L
Sang continued his impressive run with a third straight victory, making him 3-0. Up against a heavy-handed, pressure fighter, Sang rose to the occasion - landing clean knees to the body, crisp punches, and even kicks to the face. He listened well in the corner, adapted beautifully to the range and intensity, and secured another unanimous win in dominant fashion.
Vu N
Vu stepped up for his second amateur bout and showed massive improvement, doubling the variety and sharpness of his strikes from his debut. Early in the first round he suffered a left shoulder subluxation, but his grit and determination kept him pushing on. Though the injury limited his striking and clinch work, it was a performance full of heart and growth, and another step forward in his fight journey.

He’s always the first to check in with members and staff, asking how they’ve been and sparking a friendly chat.

Kyle’s energy and kindness brighten the gym, and we’re so grateful to have him as part of our community.

Jack A
Sang Le
Congrats to Jack for smashing the 100-class milestone (he’s only been with us since January 2025)! Jack’s hard work and discipline recently led him to make his professional fighter debut.
Sang has been training with us for just over a year now, and it’s safe to say the gym wouldn’t be the same without him. Whether it’s cracking jokes mid-session or that unmistakable laugh echoing all the way down Buckley Street.

Massive congratulations to Alyshia (our youngest female attendee of the Advanced classes) for reaching her 100-class milestone in just 6 months! Don’t let her age fool you… she’s tough as nails, packs a serious punch, we're very excited to see what’s next for her on her Muay Thai journey!
Tyson D
Harley R
We’re excited to also celebrate Tyson reaching his 100-class milestone! He was rightfully proud of this achievement, and even marked the occasion by treating himself to a pair of our black Strike Muay Thai shorts. Tyson’s happy and bubbly personality always brings good vibes into the gym, and we’re so grateful to have him as part of our community. We can’t wait to see him continue to smash his goals!
Lachie R
From day one, Lachie has stood out for his drive and discipline, and now he’s officially hit his 100-class milestone! Since joining us on February 28, he’s shown incredible consistency - even making a habit of arriving an hour early just to get extra work in before class. Fun fact: Lachie was also our very first Member of the Month when our monthly newsletter began. His determination sets the bar high for everyone around him, and we can’t wait to see how far he’ll go!
Harley also reached his 100-class milestone this month, after recently winning his very first interclub fight. He impressed us all with a strong performance despite only preparing through general classes and a few sparring sessions. Harley has loads of potential, and we’re keen to see him go again soon!
