SITYODTONG’S HISTORY AND LINEAGE

Sityodtong Muay Thai Camp was first established in 1960 by the late Legendary Muay Thai Master, Kru Yodtong Senanan. In 1960, Kru Yodtong first opened up Sityodtong Muay Thai Camp in Mabtaput, which is in the province of Rayong, located south of Pattaya City. 15 years later, Kru Yodtong Senanan moved and expanded his Camp to to a bigger location in Naklu. Due to the large amount of students and fighters that Kru Yodtong gained, he again needed to move his camp to a much larger location. This time Kru Yodtong Senanan purchased several acres of land in the Banglamung province, which is just a few kilometers from Pattaya, and built Sityodtong Muay Thai Camp in its current location. Sityodtong Muay Thai Camp, since 1960, has created and produced over 57 World Champions including, Samart Payakaroon, Kongtoranee Payakaroon, Daotong Sityodtong, Chatchai Paiseetong, Yoddecha Sityodtong, Yodsanan Sityodtong, Yodteera Sityodtong, Neungpichit Sityodtong, Detpitak Sityodtong.
