Ash is the boxing coach at Lions MMA Club Phuket, bringing UK high-level amateur and professional camp experience to Soi Ta-iad. He is not a general-fitness instructor wearing gloves — he developed in environments that produce world champions.
Ash started his coaching career with amateur boxers aged 10–15, building an eye for structure, footwork, and long-term fighter development. He then joined Steve Foster’s gym, working alongside a European champion, before becoming part of Joe Gallagher’s world-class camp — Ring Magazine’s Trainer of the Year.
Under Gallagher, Ash trained alongside Lawrence Okolie, Zelfa Barrett, Jack Massey, Paul Butler, Tasha Jonas, and other elite professionals. That pedigree shows in how he teaches the jab, head movement, and ring craft in Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evening classes at Lions.
COACHING AT LIONSBoxing at Lions focuses on hands, footwork, and real ring craft — skills that transfer directly to Muay Thai and MMA. Beginners learn stance and combinations on pads; experienced strikers sharpen defense and counter-punching.
If you search boxing coach Phuket or want UK-level coaching while training in Thailand, Ash is a major reason fighters choose Lions over beach-side bag classes.
