Mel's coaching has helped me to become a well rounded fighter and he continues to push me to improve." Heath Sims - 2000 Olympian, Second Ranked Pancrase Fighter

Integrity and discipline are evident in this man, essential in achieving the sustained success in and out of the ring. Mel is a master technician and tactician with a great heart. His passion for his sport resonates in his voice as he has to share with all who train with him. My training experience with Coach Mel was an incredible awakening to all that is Muay Thai Kick Boxing. I am grateful for the man, sharing himself and his wisdom."
