Prepping for the World Stage

Day Three; Dynamite Muay Thai Fighter, Team Australia Fighter and all round talented athlete Zia Seua Sor. Nak Dee 9 has commenced final preparation and weight cutting ahead of the weigh-in next week for the World Muaythai Organisation’s World Martial Arts Games.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Zia will be representing not just Dynamite Muay Thai and her comrades of Sor. Nak Dee 9, she is representing on the world stage what Muay Thai of Melbourne looks like under the national team banner, WMO Team Australia.

 

 

Zia is not new to fighting under such pressure and prestige. Zia is also a current, active fighting member of the WAKO Team Australia senior team. Previously the winner of NAKSOO MUAYTHAI – Asia Fight Tour female 4 women eliminator to represent Australia in Malaysia and then onto to win that eliminator.

 

 

 

 

Zia then being invited by the Indonesian armed forces (TNI) Ret.General to fight in the prestigious ASIAN Muay Federation ‘President’s World Championship’ in Jakarta, INDONESIA that same year. Zia went on to winning all her 48kg division tournaments under Team Australia. With no losses in all her international appearances prior to the WAKO World Championships – Bosnia, where she was met first round with a very experienced world champion who would later win the tournament.

 

 

 

 

Under Dynamite Muay Thai’s training, and the tutelage and guidance from Kru Dennis, Zia has had a steady fight career still in its infancy, spanning on and off for only four years competing in Muay Thai, and now K1 rules.

 

 

 

When Zia has a moment, preferably after this week of fights we will catch up with her for a few words regarding the “Dynamite Fight Life.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Zia is not always trying to make herself heard or making herself stand out. In fact she is the opposite. Personally I’ve come across it all and the most important thing is she’s always there! She is the first to arrive, the last to leave, she is definitely always the hungriest, hardest worker and the most generous helper with her time. When someone is in fight camp, the weeks, the days, the seconds are crucial. To still put her gym, her teammates and her trainers above herself is not a common trait. This level of awareness has to be disciplined in.” – Kru Dennis – Dynamite Head Coach.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“You see with Zia, she already had that trait, which is not something you find in a lot of fighters. Fighters are hungry and it’s quite easy to forget about everyone around you if you’re the only one in your gym fighting. I am fortunate to have a gym full of fighters which are separated into a tier system but train together as one. Not all started with Zia’s traits haha but the majority understand the culture of Dynamite Muay Thai and it’s the reason we do so well.” - Kru Dennis – Dynamite Head Coach.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Let’s send our Dynamite fighter all the positive vibes and wish both Zia, Kru Dennis and Team Australia success for this next fight and then a speedy recover and regroup for the followingt fight in Amsterdam in just over ten days.

 

 

 

 

 Stay Tuned for the first draw of Zia’s division…

Team Australia has landed in Thailand!

Team Australia has landed, and are in preparation for the World Muaythai Organisation’s 5th World Martial Arts Championship Games set in Pattaya, THAILAND. Featuring hundreds of athletes and national teams coming from around the world to partake in Muay Thai and all things Muay Thai related.

 

 

Team Australia headed by Australian WMO President Mr Ravhinder will compete on the world stage in Muay Thai, K1 rules, Muay Boran and Sanda Kickboxing.

 

In preparation for the games 5 coaches will manage, train and watch over 62 athletes of  Team Australia’s combined junior and senior teams to commence 8th until the 17th of March 2020. 

 

 

Dynamite Muay Thai’s Head Coach, Kru Dennis, has been selected as one of the five Team Australia coaching staff to assist in coaching, cornering and mentoring the athletes chasing gold.

 

 

 

 

 

“Its a pleasure to be part of something bigger, it always is. The Australian team has a large squad so I can imagine there will be a lot of running between rings and micromanaging of teams of fighters.” Kru Dennis – Dynamite Muay Thai

 

 

 

 

We were able to video conference a few quick questions…

 

 

Admin: How did you get involved with Coaching and getting to be part of Team Australia for WMO?

 

 

Kru Dennis: “Well funny thing is that I was actually in Europe, Bosnia to be exact during the middle of a world championship event week with another well established international organisation. The WAKO World championships were on and I was a coach for our National sporting team, the WAKO Team Australia Kickboxing. So I was looking after an athlete who was also fighting for this event and he put my name and my Dynamite Muay Thai fighter’s name through to the Australian president of the organisation. The next day I was asked to call Mr Ravhinder but because I was overseas I message the president and the following day I received a message to say both my fighter Zia and I, had been selected for Team Australia for Muay Thai in March. Zia would represent 48kg and I would be an official Team Australia WMO trainer. I was super excited!  Double excited though because Zia also made the team.”

 

 

Admin: The question is… So how do you fit this into your schedule if you’re renown for being busy?

 

 

Kru Dennis:“Haha. Busy? Where do I start? Haha.” “From the time since I had received notification of selection, which was back in end of September 2019 until now it has definitely not slowed down. Not even over Christmas and New Year.” “We have been consistently fighting each weekend or away for work since.” 

 

 

 

 

Admin: What happens to fights and the fighters when you’re away with national team fights?

 

 

Kru Dennis: “I have great a team behind me, a lot of support and togetherness at Dynamite Muay Thai. Lily is the manager and she operates the Dynamite fight team like a well oiled machine when I’m away, which is quite often. She will run classes and fighters. A program is in place for the fighters in terms of training, scheduling, support of each other, the gym and its operational duties and maintenance of the gym. In terms of fighter’s fight schedule, Lily will asses their readiness and then I will be the final decision of who’s to fight, at what weight and on which event etc.”

 

 

 

 

 

 

Admin: Lastly… Whats next?

 

 

Kru Dennis: “Well let’s see where it goes. There is whisper of potentially postponing the event due to COVID – 19 Pandemic but we are still training alongside Team Fairtex as per fight camp schedule. Literally the day of the medal podium ceremony Zia and I will be straight to the airport bound for Amsterdam for a huge fight in another six days. We need to be ready for the next fight.”

 

 

 

Thank you for your time Kru Dennis!

 

That is how it’s done; Dynamite Muay Thai, Sor. Nak Dee 9 Fight Team, Team Australia WMO, Team Australia WAKO… Stay tuned.
