Alex Kitanov
Muay Thai Assistant Instructor and Personal Trainer
I has been training since 2016 starting with Hapkido (a Korean martial art of striking, grappling and throwing for self defence) before quickly finding kickboxing (and shortly after Muay Thai) to cement his interest in striking. I started coaching striking fundamentals in 2021, teaching one-on-one clients for boxing and Muay Thai, then taking on boxing bootcamps, before working at UBX fitness boxing gym at Crows Nest where he could introduce a more technical approach for members interested in developing their skills. After moving to Brisbane from Sydney in 2023, I joined SASSOM with a passion to continue his own development as a fighter, student, and coach. I have enrolled in uni to continue my studies and to begin studying Clinical Exercise Physiology for a holistic approach to martial arts and personal training.
Passion
I strive to deliver guidance and empowerment to my clients in every session. I believe in reaching one’s fullest potential through disciplined training, becoming comfortable outside of one’s comfort zones, tenacity, and good humour in the face of adversity.
