MARTIN HOLT

I started Muay Thai around 27years ago. I trained with Grandmaster Kevin Lloyd at Siam camp.

I took part in numerous inter clubs and had 5 fights. After I stopped fights I started to train as a judge and referee. I am now a A class referee having refereed in England and Thailand and I also refereed a World title bout in Milan, Italy which featured thai fighter Saiyuk.

I was also the first farang to referee at the Asian indoor games in Phuket, Thailand in2005.

I was honoured to be awarded my Kru Yai in April 2017 by Grandmaster Woody and GM Kevin.

Throughout my Muay Thai journey I have only studied and trained under GM Kevin so my world was devastated when he suddenly passed away. His wife, Jess, asked me to become a partner in the gym and carry on GMK’s legacy, which I am still doing to this day.
