“We are extremely excited to announce that Sek & Don have joined the coaching staff here at Bali MMA. It’s not often that you have the opportunity to bring in not one, but two coaches with this level of experience.” said Don Carlo Clauss, Co-owner of Bali MMA.

Don Carlo Clauss further elaborated “The coaches, fighters & students here at Bali MMA will have an amazing opportunity to learn and train side by side with two icons and we really can’t wait to see the results. I’m very happy and proud to continue to raise the bar and be a part of the growth of martial arts here in my adopted home of Indonesia.”

Bali MMA has been a hotbed among international athletes, with the likes of Glory Super Bantamweight Champion Tiffany Van Soest and One Championship Strawweight World Champion Xiong Jing Nan have previously prepared their fights at the gym. The gym has also welcomed high-profile athletes in the past, including UFC Bantamweight Champion Aljamain Sterling, current UFC Flyweight Champion Valentina Shevchenko, Alistair Overeem, Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira (Minotauro), and many others.

“We selected Kru Saeksan and Don from over 20 other candidates. We conducted our search globally but at the end of the day, no one can really compete with the Thais in the striking department. Many started trainings at the tender age of 6-8 and typically have over 200 fights in their illustrious careers. Only the best can survive under the harsh and extremely competitive condition.” said Chairman of Bali MMA, Steve Suryadinata.

Selected as one of the top 10 MMA gyms in Asia by Fox Sports, the arrival of the two high-level coaches will further cement the gym’s position as one of the most competitive MMA gyms in Asia, where it continues to raise champions and world-class fighters.

According to Co-owner Andrew Leone, Don and Kru Saeksan are both widely regarded as the best striking coaches in Asia. “Don & Sek have fought and competed at the most prestigious Muay Thai stadiums in Bangkok with over 400 fights between them. They have also honed their coaching skills working with international fighters at the world famous Tiger Muay Thai training camp In Phuket. It’s exciting to continue to bring Indonesia the best coaches in the industry.”
