KAO LOI

Kao Loi trainees Peter Arnett and Gary Nickel-lean become the first to achieve black belt level in Thai-Kickboxing under Pierre. Around this time Kao Loi registers with the English Muay Thai Federation and adopt the Grading syllabus recognised by the Kru Muay Thai Association, World Muay Boran Association, and Cultural Committee of Thailand... In 2001 Kao Loi's Thai Boxing team has 3 athletes representing their country at the World Amateur Championships in Thailand. This was repeated in 2003 and 2013 with our athletes earning 4 silver medals, and Pierre achieving his highest World Ranking of 3rd. The feature video shows Pierre competing at the World Championships in Bangkok in 2001 vs Scotland and then Russia... Kao Loi members nominate Pierre for the Stray FM Sporting Hero awards. The attached video was made and a party of four attended the award ceremony not yet knowing the outcome. Pierre was ecstatic to win the award and it was truly his proudest moment!
