Australia's Best Trainer Is ???????

[paul c]

Guys,

The other thread in the forum asks which trainers don't get the recognition they deserve, I'm hoping that here we can maybe end up voting on an

Unofficial Blitz Forum Peoples Vote Survey And Award.

First prize, a big well done, and a pat on the back. Some of these guys are such dedicated people. Let's think about it, these guys are putting in all the hard yards for someone elses Glory. Amazing people.


So, lets have it guys.

For me, if I think consistency, I have to say Scida. But, as you know I'm not very experienced and wouldn't have a clue. But what I can contribute is what I hear from other industry people.

Scida gets huge raps from just about everyone.

[paul c]

Actually guys, Just wanted to point out that my point of view should just apply for Victoria. I'm sure there are just as accomplished trainers in N.S.W, QLD, Sout Aust, Perth, etc. I'ts just that I don't hear about them because I'm working amongst a different circle.

I hope you will contribute to this thread and educate us so that we can have a clearer knowledge of whom they have trained.

[Dynamite Drew]

Son Doi . Without a doubt would have to be one of the best.
Just look at some of the guys he has trained :
Alex Tui - Australia's 1st world champion
Marcus 'maddog' Mangan - multiple world champion
Son Doi jnr
Dale Middleton
Con Liristis

And other fighters that have trained with Son during their careers:
Steve Jez - multiple world champion
Mark May - world champion
Goran Atlagic
Dragonmir Dubucannin
Gino Zampagna
Shane Meads

Son Doi is a quiet man , never seeks publicity , is not a glory hunter , just a trainer who really loves the sport and trains people to be the best they can be and to have a similar attitude to the sport like his.

I may be biased as Son was also my trainer , but im sure if you ask , you wont find anyone who would have a bad word to say about Son

Cheers
Drew

[Rickstar]

Yeah Scida for me!
I think we have alot of good trainers in this country, but this guy gets the absolute best out of all of his fighters. He promotes a family atmosphere in his gym by the looks of things (almost the whole gym attends a fight when an ultimate fighter is competing). Barely any of Scida's fighters leave him for other gyms and he has a nice franchise of Ultimate gyms the right way through the western suburbs. I think Scida has produced a system that he feels works best for his fighters and he trains them to adhere to this principle. He is always open to outside ideas ie: the Thailand trip he just took some of his fighters on. I think John Scida is a legend of the sport and he gets my vote for this. Other trainers i like and admire are- Jamal Hasan, Paul Fiefield, Kerry Mcnaught and lets not any of us forget the majical Dana Goodson

Rickstar.

[paul c]

Very True Drew,

Son has to be considered as right up there with the elite trainers if we're going to count the numbers of Champions. that's an impressive list you've compiled, my favourite being Mangan. He was one hard dude in the videos I've seen.

Drew, do you know what's happening with Middleton?

I haven't seen him fight for ages. Actually, I've seen quite a few videos, but have never heard of him fighting since about 99.

[Lucy Tui]

Hi Paul,
I saw Mangan last year, he is busy with his business and has a son now he has retired...Mad dog one of my favourites without
a doubt...
Trainers. Alex Tui, & Hape Ngaronoa Stuart Mckinnon...
Melbourne. late Dana Goodson, Johnny Scida, Jemal Hassan,
Paul Fyfield, Bryce Birtwhistle....
Queensland, Nugget is my choose without a doubt...

[supermario]

I'm gonna go with Kerry "Nugget" McNaught.

[JANER]

My opinion of a great trainer is one who can take on a beginner and build them up to a champion.

Jemal Hassan is one of those trainers who did infact train ALL of Tarik Solak fighters.

Fighters included:

- Celal Ilhan
- Bader Arafan
- Birol Topuz
- Gurkan Ozkan
- Tibet Hamza
- Recep Saka
- Fatih Hassan
- Murat Mehment
- Baris Nezif

80% of the fighters mentioned started off with jemal at a young age and built up into Victorias/Australias defining fighters.

I also know Gallijess who is not publicly known who is a great trainer for grappling and is going from strength to strength. Paul Fylfield is a great trainer, but is most of the time training fighters with a good background.

I also got to mention Johny Scida who trains both males and females and brings them up into top fighters like Jenk Behic and the ever improving Chris Christopoulides.

For me, the pure trainers are:

1. Jemal Hassan
2. Johny Scida
3. Galijess

Note: I live in melbourne so I am unaware with those interstate.

[JANER]

did I forget to mention Mr Miyagi!? <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> What great movies they were man!

[remy]

Janer, did you mean Birol Simseker not Birol Topuz. Doesn't Birol Topuz live in Turkey?

[paul c]

He certainly was exciting to watch lucy.

[Dynamite Drew]

Hey Paul

Dale came to my wedding last year

He has basically retired due to being unable to get any fights and is also busy with his business

Cheers

[melissa godfrey]

I think Richard walsh from the Boonchu gym is the best in qld. He has done alot of work and put in alot of time with everyone at the boonchu gym, it can't be easy holding pads for the likes of John Wayne Parr, Paul Briggs, Nathan Carnage, Adam Aggressor, plus there are alot more guys down there that he gets through every night that arn't push overs.

Thanks for all your hard work in getting us fit for our fights.

[ur_belts_myn]

you know con liristis has opened up a gym.. Im gonna be his first world champion student.......

[ur_belts_myn]

you know con liristis has opened up a gym.. Im gonna be his first world champion student.......

[CharlieA]

Guys,

Qld has the best trainers for MT by a long way.

But number one...

Nugget!

He has trained: Josh Sexton, Brian Murphy, Brendon 'humpty' Short, Brett 'the Butcher' Zanchetta, Craig 'the hammer' Hogan, Shannon 'shaggy' King, Soren Mongkongton and many more.

And he has done work to further develop Scotty Bannan as well as flying down to Melbourne to help Tarik prepare Ozkan (so even the other trainers recognise Nugget as the authority).

Further to that, he has taught JWP a thing or two in the ring (2 wins from 2) and same with Kurt Finlayson etc. I have been told that Nugget is also well known in parts of Thailand as a kick-ass fighter and great trainer too.

He has now become the best promoter (with Josh Sexton) in Qld as well.

And also in Qld we have Boonchu Gym and Strikeforce Gym (Mark Pease) etc.

Cheers,

CharlieA

[ashhh]

Hey people,

Im going for Kru Jeab from sityodtong in VIC...
He trains us individually spends time on each person and doesnt just
give us a linedancing session like a lot of other dojos ;)

1. Kru Jeab

[Not Telling]

Paul Grima from Pitbull

[Rav]

Being a South Aussie, Id have to say Alan Wong as being up with the best trainers in Australia. He has produced champion fighters like Paul Slowinski, Sam Harvey, Ethan Shepp, Ray and Lawrence Bujea, David Allen and many new up and coming young fighters. Alan Wong, Mark Pease, Nugget and Jo Hilton are some of the greatest Muay Thai trainers out there.

[just rite]

my vote goes to scida over the last twenty years he has continualy produced fighters of high standard in boxing kickboxing and muay thai every time you see a major card on in melb one of his fighters are on it the likes of chris c. anthony vella jenk behic illas i. laura skinner joanne falzon evian t. nick t. jason t. one of the new up and comers in kickboxing and boxing and a string of new fighters coming up in the gym my vote would have been for the late dan goodson but scida takes the cake for volume of fighters and talent

[bosna001]

My picks are (no particular order)
Muay Thai: Mark Pease,Nugget,Joe Hilton and Booncho crew,Alan Wong.
Kickboxing: Jamal Hassan,Scida,Fyfield,Nick Stone(MT-KB),Mick Spinks
Alex Tui.
Honourable mention Mark Tyson(produced Hallford,Maizey.)
OSU!

[wmc thai style]

Muay Thai:
Joe Hilton - Sunshine Coast Thai Boxing Centre
Warren Elson, Tony Hill, Justin Gibbons, Travis Elson, Hope Elson, Aaron Kirkby, Kurt Finlayson, Vince Parks plus More

Mark Pease - Strikeforce Gym
Aaron Leah, Pixie Burton, Diamond Jim, Danny Derdowski plus more

Nugget - NTG
Soren, Butcher, Humpty, Hammer Hogan, Josh Sexton, Shaggy, Dane plus more

Alan Wong - Flinders Uni Muay Thai
Paul Slowinksky, Ethan Shepp, Sam Harvey plus More

Richard Walsh - Boonchu
Wayne Parr, Nathan Corbett, Shannon F16, Adam Aggressor,
Melissa Godfrey plus More

[sooty]

Heeeyya bosna001, i gotta mention!!! ... Thanx mate your cheques in the mail!

[bill]

Best Trainer without a dout would have to go to scida.
I think that his record of champions & titles speaks for them selfs and also keeping in mind that all of his fighters such as jenk behic & evan themalarkis & chris chrisopoulidis & joane falzon & laura skinner & jason tramsek are all good sportsmen and gentlemen inside and outside the ring and need no introduction to honour and loyalty to trainer & club & sport and themselfs.

Also Johhny Scida up there aswell.

[SPADA]

I would say Mark Pease
For how long he has been around the sport.
He has produced good fighters over the years.... and he is a liverpool supporter...hehe


cheers Spada

[bosna001]

Its ok sooty free of charge mate.OSU

[Hitman]

Jemal didnt train Birol Topuz doesnt he live in turkey?

[TSINGANI]

i would have to say Kru Jeab

They call him "the man of a thousand tricks"

I asked him once if it was true that he knew a thousand tricks and he replied..."no, there are more than a thousand tricks in Muay Thai"

[kiwibouncer]

anyway on topic i think my trainer Glen Macdonald former australian champion is the best trainer other then that maybe scott 'cannon' bannon

Fact
Kiwi's have dominated Kickboxing and Muay Thai over Aussies, Turks, Greeks
since kickboxing and muay thai was established

[HSF]

My vote without a doubt would be Richard Walsh,
a great tariner / pad holder and a great mate to all the boys outside the gym aswell.

[bajnh]

Bob Jones - Lets not forget that it was the chief who introduced kickboxing and thai boxing to Aust.
Many of Australias best trainers would have had some influence from the BJC.
The corporation blood line is over 30 years old, so most trainers were taught by someone, or their trainer was taught someone who had some involement with the Bob Jones corporation.

For me it has to be Phon Martdee from perth

[imported_n/a]

A little bit off topic

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WO4tIrjBDkk

[CL]

Without being bias :), I would have to say that Darren Reece would have to be up there as one of the best trainers. I think a good trainer is not only a matter of holding pads well or giving good instructions during fights or at training but also giving that little bit extra aswell. Darren is an awesome pad holder and his years of experience give him the extra knowledge but he puts himself out to make sure his fighters and his gym members are always fit, healthy, comfortable and are just generally happy. Riddlers Gym has a great reputation in Perth of being a close knit gym and thats because he makes sure everyone that steps through the doors is treated equally and with the respect they deserve.

Im a firm believer that a fighter is a representation of their trainer in many ways. Darren treats people the way he likes to be treated and has been treated. Thats what makes a top trainer.

[Dee Rez]

NICK STONE

Nick has had too many top fighters to list.
\Great quality, great guy, Been around from the very beginning of thai boxing in Australia.

DEFINATELY Deserves recognition@!@

[Killer_Legs]

In my humble opinion , It has to be ' Nugget' . He has extreme Knowledge, commitment and ability, add that to his passion of winning and he is just simply ' THE MAN ' .

[dimslim96]

TONY “THE TAIPAN” FAVUZZI is definitely the best trainer in NSW and can be argued as one of the best in AUS. He is a great teacher, awesome pad holder and a great mate. He also has a great bond with all his fighters as trainer and as a mate.

[Nish]

But if we dont think that our trainers are the best we would not be training with them
its like u r living in a house and if u like it you continue to stay there if it does not suit your needs you go and find another one till you find the one best for you .
There are a lot of very good trainers but i think it is entirely upto the person who has to train with them

[dekker]

Silliness, love the clip awesome film!

[humble]

Nish, let's say you're training with Nugget a trainer of champions in oz or any other champion trainer for that matter. You've made up your mind that they are the best trainer in oz.
All of a sudden Cor Hemmers decides to move to Qld about 20km's from the gym you're at. Would you stick to your trainer or shoot straight out to Mr Hemmers joint?

Sometimes, you're trainer is the best trainer that is available to you but not necessarily the best.

The replies in the forum were just of gym members posting up their own trainers.

Bit subjective if you ask me.

I can't be bold enough to say who is the best trainer, but I can give preference to whom I like. To say who is the best would imply I've tried them all and am then able to criticize them all and even then, again it would only be my subjective opinion, not some national truth.

Sometimes trainer A may be able to take one member to become world champion and not have a clue on how to bring out the best of another member. The member does a simple gym swap and all of a sudden he/she is a serious contender.

Does it mean trainer A is not as good as the next trainer?

Hardly...

Just my thoughts on this issue.

some of the quality trainers ive had over the last 25 years
MASTER BUNRAING UK (very old school)
MASTER TODDY UK (a real master, forward thinking, doing very well now in vegas)
MASTER WOODY (traditional muay thai)
THOM HARINK CHAKURIKI HOLLAND (got to be the best all round dutch trainer, very hard taskmaster)
RICK KULU (good all rounder, still busy)
DAVE HEDGECOCK (trained with dave for 1 year everyday, hes one of the best)

Loyalty has nothing to do with it. This isn't about "Australia's most loyal trainee". It's about "Australia's best trainer" which I think is unanswerable by most of us who haven't experienced much past one, two or three trainers.

People like Nick Stone I could take an answer from after looking at the various exposure he has had to various trainers over his long involvement in the sport. But a gym surfer or a trainee of only a couple of gyms is hardly someone to ask or take an answer from.

Opinions are free, but it doesn't mean they're always right.

Mat received the Muay Thai fighter of the year and this was decided by a pannel within BJC. There were criteria that had to be met to get into either Novice or Muay Thai.
Obviously your upset that you missed out on the netball award at your local club.
Mat is probably one of the most active BJC Muay Thai fighters at the moment, he trains hard, he trains his students hard and has dedicated a hell of a long time in to BJC and Muay Thai.
He travels to Melbourne at least twice a week to train so he can stay at a high level, travels to Thailand to train and fight, is the current WMC Victorian title holder @ around 81kg (can't remember the weight exactly).
If you can show me a fighter that trains within the BJC sylabus that is more active than that, then they may be in with a chance. I can't recall any that are as active.
Looking forward to hearing from you again Golden Geek.

Matt was awarded the accolade as the BJC Fighter of the year, and obviously in Victoria, as a PRACTISING BJC student, thus the award..
