Sasiprapa Gym Joins Forces with MASA as a Corporate Partner!

Late last year, MASA (Martial Arts Sports Association Inc.) President John Ioannou visited the legendary Sasiprapa Muay Thai Gym in Bangkok, Thailand—one of the most respected training grounds for elite fighters.

The visit proved to be a major success, securing Sasiprapa Gym as an official Corporate Partner with MASA! This partnership is a game-changer for the MASA Scholarship Training Award, giving recipients the rare opportunity to train at a world-class facility and then step onto the iconic stage of Rajadamnern Stadium—the oldest, biggest, and most prestigious Muay Thai stadium in the world, commonly known as RWS.

Award winners won’t just train with Thailand’s best; they’ll compete in the high-stakes "Knockout Series," where they’ll battle both top Thai fighters and international challengers in an electrifying test of skill, heart, and determination.
With this latest alliance, MASA further solidifies its dominance in the combat sports world, now offering two elite training destinations in Thailand—Bangkok and Phuket—for its athletes.

And the excitement doesn’t stop there! MASA is already planning to send a team of warriors to RWS later this year, ready to take on the world’s best under the stadium’s bright lights.

Stay tuned—big things are coming!
