TRAINERS THOUGHTS

Aaron's Muaythai career stated in 1990 & lasted through till 2002. One of the most memorable fights was with Jason "Supercharge" Vemoa from NZ for the South Pacific Title, it was a war. These 2 went at it from start to finish, pride of 2 Country's on the line. What a great fight.

Aaron is the wildest man I have trained. He came into our Sunshine Coast Thai Boxing Gym at 16yrs. He had his first fight & ended up on the wrong end of a much older Athlete, with that I thought he wouldn't return to train, but to our surprise he returned the next day with Black eye's & his words were "teach me to fight Joe". Aaron trained like a demon & he had great knee & grappling skills he would destroy anyone who came close & had such a determination to win. Aaron was very aggresive he wanted to win & with that took out most of his opponents.
