Highlights from this past Sunday’s seminar with the legendary John Wayne Parr 🇦🇺 at Progressive Fighting Academy! 🇹🇭🥊
The video opens with John catching Trevor Hardy kick, flowing straight into the clinch and landing a knee—a perfect example of turning defense into offense.
The seminar focused heavily on:
• Clinch positioning and control
• Creating dominant posture
• Off-balancing and knee opportunities
• Small technical details that make a huge difference
As always, John mixed world-class instruction with plenty of laughs, including his hilarious take on the importance of posture. It’s one of the many reasons he’s not only one of the greatest Muay Thai fighters of all time, but also one of the sport’s most entertaining and engaging teachers.
A huge thank you to everyone who came out to learn and to John for sharing decades of experience with our team. Looking forward to having you back at Progressive Fighting Academy!
Chok Dee! 🇹🇭👊

Cool to share Muay Thai lineage from my time at Sangtiennoi Gym in Thailand and have the opportunity to learn from you again 26 years later at Progressive Fighting Academy.
From training under legends in Thailand to welcoming one of the sport’s true icons to our gym, it’s been an incredible journey.
Muay Thai legend, pioneer, and friend, John Wayne Parr 🇦🇺 .
Twenty-six years later… wow. 🙏🥊🇹🇭🇦🇺

When in Amsterdam, is a must-stop for any kickboxing or Muay Thai enthusiast. A true piece of striking history, the gym has helped shape legends of the sport and continues to carry that old-school Dutch kickboxing spirit.
An absolute pleasure getting a tour from the man himself, André Mannaart. The knowledge, stories, and atmosphere inside those walls are something every martial artist should experience at least once. 🙏🥊
