It was a chance meeting with Ricky around 1998 where on hearing Ricky’s achievements to date Rob became convinced to return to the Muay Thai and continue his training. From this day forward he became a regular at the leisure centre in Ricky’s classes. Although a little ‘rusty’ it wasn’t long before Rob was back into the swing of things and the excellent ground work of techniques learnt from Ralf and Master Sken shone out above the rest of Ricky’s fledgling students. Ricky on noticing this helped Rob develop his muay thai techniques and coaching skills and it wasn’t long before he was assisting Ricky on a regular basis. When Ricky left the leisure centre to open the Calder Thai Boxing Academy both he and Rob felt it was time for Rob to take a more prominent role in teaching at the new club so with this in mind Rob now holds his own classes on a Sunday and Wednesday evening’s. Aimed at the familys this is an open age class (for adults and children) ideally suited to the beginner and intermediate student.
