Train With the Founder
A Self-Defense Seminar Taught by Chatri Sityodtong
To open our new Bangkok academy, Chatri Sityodtong — founder of Evolve MMA and Founder & CEO of ONE Championship — will personally lead a special self-defense seminar.
A Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt and lifelong martial artist, Chatri will share practical, real-world self-defense techniques anyone can use — drawn from the same philosophy that built Evolve MMA into Asia’s premier martial arts academy.
The Open Workout
See the Warriors Before the World Title Fight
On Friday, 24 July 2026, Muay Thai legend Sam-A Gaiyanghadao and Aliff Sor Dechapan face each other for the ONE Championship Interim Strawweight Muay Thai World Title. At the grand opening, you’ll see them both up close in an open workout — just over two weeks before they step into the ring.
