A BIG congratulations to Michael ‘Tomahawk' Thompson the new Australian Pro Champion!!! Tomahawk has claimed yet another title and an impressive win against the tough Jeff Lanes.

Andy Smith was looking strong as always at Boonchu but unfortunately in the first round tore the ligaments in his knee. Andy will be out of action for some months and will be needing surgery. Our thoughts are with him and we hope for a speedy recovery for Andy. It's not the same in the gym without him.

One of the most popular events held in QLD for Amateurs is the Boonchu Cup. Congratulations to all the boys on their efforts at the recent Boonchu amateur tournament.

For all those who keep up to date with the latest Muay Thai magazine you may recognise a familiar face in the latest issue. That's right, Kru Daniel Bell has his profile included (it's about time).

Once again Michael ‘Tommahawk' Thompson has proven he's one of the strongest fighters in Australia and the world coming home from the Arafura games with a silver medal. With fighters from all over the world attending Mikey got plenty of experience fighting some of the best in the world. Congratulations to Michael for winning the Silver on a world stage.

A BIG BIG special shout out to all the people who helped sponsor Mikey and made it possible for him to travel up and stay for the 1 week event.
