Welcome to the Siam Camp at long last we are up and running, It’s taken some time but there are some things you just cannot rush.
You will find a lot of information relating to the Camp and traditional Muay Thai, as well as our involvement with World Muaythai Federation ( W.M.F ) Formally known as the I.M.T.F (International Muay Thai Federation) and the Introduction of the Great Britain Muaythai Organisation (G.B.M.T.O.) along with the England Muaythai Federation (E.M.F).
It covers the history and Culture of the Traditional Art of Muay Thai at all levels including the Amateur Sport.
I have tried to include all aspects of the Camp and how I was first introduced to Muay Thai and where we are up to today. I hope there will be something for everyone

If you’re interested in starting Muay Thai then why not come along to the Siam Camp and become one of the family. Under the guidance of Master Kevin and/or one of his senior instructors they will take you through a structured class incorporating general fitness, self-defence, and confidence building. For those of you who wish to compete look at our fighter section. The classes are mixed and ages start from 6yrs onwards, private lessons are available on request.
Our existing students enjoy learning about all aspects of Muay Thai including its culture language and the art of traditional Muay Thai. Grading are made available and help the student to achieve their own personal goals, within a fun and friendly relaxed atmosphere. We provide the necessary equipment to get the best out of each participating student; we also provide the facility for the purchase of their own equipment for personal use.
Along side Master Kevin, who himself has 30 years experience, are some of the highest qualified male & female instructors in the country, between them they have over 90 years experience. The camp prides itself on the quality and standard of its students that progress through the system to achieve instructor status.
All our Instructors have achieved the highest standards set by the E.M.F previously known as the I.M.T.F. While each instructor incorporates their own personality and style of teaching, they are all required to follow the high standard set by Master Kevin and the E.M.F syllabus to ensure continuity. The structure laid out in the syllabus has been created in accordance with the Department of Physical Education and The Office of the National Culture Commission in Thailand.
At the Siam Camp we have been very successful within the competative side of the amateur sport, over the last few years with have had Amateur Champions at National, British and World level, along with National and British Pro-am Champions. Anyone wishing to take part on the completive side of the sport will be treated and assessed individually, they will be given all the support needed to become as successful as they can be, the use of our 16ft boxing ring helps to develop and gain the experience needed to achieve the ring craft knowledge and skills required to compete.
