Master Sken's Premiere Show

Andy Thrasher’s inclusion in the line-up for Grandmaster Sken’s “MSA Muay Thai Premier League” show on Saturday 7th November 2009 is a continuation of a relationship that goes back to 1998 and Andy’s introduction to the art of Muay Thai. A keen footballer at the time, Andy originally went to the GFC club, then Heywood Sitnarong under (then) Master Sken, simply to help heal a collarbone injury but fell in love with the art of Muay Thai and the rest, as they say, is history. It was the beginning of a career that has been defined by Andy’s all-action style and a high knockout ratio that has seen him hugely popular with fans, fellow fighters and promoters alike. Master Sken puts Andy’s popularity in perspective when he states-“I have organized many Muay Thai shows and Andy Thrasher has participated in these shows. I found that he is an exceptional fighter. He has fought many high quality opponents. On Sunday 31st May he won the WKA World championship and proved himself one of Britain best fighters.”

Whilst he admits that sometimes the only way to win a fight is to dig deep and have an old-fashioned tear-up, Andy is no one trick pony and has always sought to develop and mature as a fighter with improved technique and tactics. To this end he believes that all Thai fighters must eventually train in Thailand. Although he has trained with some top Thai trainers and fighters Andy hasn’t trained in Thailand yet but will rectify that by travelling to the Jitti gym in July, and hopefully once or twice more later in the year....
