SNC INSTRUCTORS P:3

Nathan Lewis

My name is Nathan Lewis, and my martial arts journey began in 2023, driven by my love for combat sports and a desire to push myself. I was in search of a Muay Thai/kickboxing gym. After nearly joining a local boxing gym out of frustration from not finding the right Muay Thai/kickboxing gym, a chance encounter with a fellow SN member led me to SN Combat.

From the moment I joined, I was captivated by the distinctive training methods and the energy of the fighters. The SN Combat style, developed by Khru Sam Nankani, combines unique techniques and strategies that set it apart from traditional Muay Thai and Kickboxing.

Training at SN Combat has challenged me physically and mentally, helping me grow as a martial artist. The intense sessions, precise techniques, and strong camaraderie have made me realize that this journey is about more than just fighting, it's about mastering discipline and embracing a lifestyle.

My progress eventually led to an exciting new role as a coach. Now, I have the privilege of guiding beginners, helping them develop their skills and navigate their own martial arts journeys. Coaching has deepened my understanding of the art and renewed my sense of purpose.

Looking back, I'm grateful for the path that led me to SN Combat. The journey has been incredibly rewarding, and I'm eager to continue evolving as both a martial artist and a coach. There's still so much to learn, and I’m excited for what lies ahead.

Koby Bright

My name is Koby Bright, and my journey in combat sports began when I was 12 years old in my hometown of Doncaster. What started as a way to get fit and lose weight quickly became a passion after my very first boxing session. In 2020, I moved to East London and continued boxing until 2021, when my travels through Thailand introduced me to K1 and Muay Thai. During that trip, I took a week of lessons in these dynamic martial arts and immediately knew that they would be a part of my life when I returned home.

Upon my return, I found SN Combat in Catford through a quick Google search, and it’s where my journey in K1 and Muay Thai truly began. Despite being new to these disciplines, I was welcomed warmly by coach Khru and the SN Combat family. From day one, I felt like a student again, learning not just the physical techniques but also the mental resilience necessary for both the ring and life. Under coach Khru's mentorship, I’ve never looked back.

Through training at SN Combat, I’ve grown in every aspect of my life—becoming stronger, more confident, and committed to a healthy lifestyle. The teachings from coach Khru have not only improved my fitness but have also shaped me mentally, helping me approach challenges in training, competition, and everyday life with greater determination. I’m blessed to carry forward the lessons I've learned, and I’m excited to pass them on to others through my love of martial arts.
