Daniel Bell (head trainer) "Kru"

After doing Tae Kwon Do in primary school I started Muay Thai training in 1991.  I started fighting at 74kg and have fought inevery weight division up to Super Heavy Weight picking up Light Heavy Weight and Super Heavy Weight titles along the way.

I started Muay Thai in 1991 with Kru Malcolm Anderson at Bloodaxe Muay Thai.  The name Ironfist was given to me by Nugget a well know fighter and trainer, after knocking out an opponent in a Toughman Tournament in 1996.  Over the years, much of my own training and sparring took place on the concrete in Mum and Dads carport, so in 2001 we commenced work on building the Ironfist Gym. 

THE IRONFIST MUAY THAI GYM

We began Ironfist Muay Thai in 2001 and had to expand again in 2005.  We are currently planning our next expansion and hope to have it finished by the end of 2007.  With our latest expansion completed they gym will be 350m2 of fully carpeted floor space incorporating a full sized boxing ring, punching bags, floor to ceiling bags, speed balls, commercial weights area, massage table and equipment and supplement shop.  Our proudest achievement by far is the positive change we see in our students and the close bonds and camaraderie that our members have for each other.  The Gym has certainly cemented its reputation as being among the very best in QLD and with our fighters taking on bigger challenges and all of us continuing to learn, the Ironfist name will continue to spread.
