Just wanted to throw it out there for the Thai community.
SACAN Muay Thai owned and run by Neal Rowe , is recognized by Saekson Janjira and Samart Payakaroon as a Sityodtong gym.
I think I posted a thread about our trip and Neal's promotion/recognition as a Thai Boxing Trainer by Saekson and Samart.
But we are going back to Pattaya in feb and cant wait to get more training and get to fight this time.
anyways. just wanted to give my coach is recognition and... im out.
cheers
fyi Sacan is not affiliated or recognized as a Sityodtong Gym in any way shape or form. The only legitimate Sityodtong representatives in the US are owner operator and ceo of Sityodtong inc. Mark DellaGrotte of Boston and Walter Michaelowski of LA. Seminars and trips to thailand dont make you a Sityodtong gym. Neal Rowe is a great guy and a great coach but has not been given permission to use the Sityodtong name. Sityodtong inc. is a registered trademake, Missuse of the name can result in legal action.
Hmm..
I was just trying to give my coach some recognition for Saekson and Samart backing him and what I heard in person.
Not trying to stir up anything Kru.
I'll have to ask Neal so I can see how I was misinformed
Ouch.
For the record
Neal Rowe is a class act who has done alot for the art and sport of Muay Thai in both teaching and promoting. His resume also includes UFC champion Rich Franklin. He has been training extensively with Samart and Saekson and is certified under their organization which is an extension of the Sityodtong family. A miscommunication led people to believe this was permission to use the Sityodtong name brand. Sorry for any misunderstanding.
