Congratulations
π₯ MOUNT RUSHMORE OF THE 90s TRAINERS π₯
We spend a lot of time talking about the champions of the 1990s. The world title winners. The knockout artists. The hall of famers.
But what about the people behind them?
The men who opened the gym doors before sunrise. The coaches who wrapped hands, held pads, worked corners, drove fighters to shows, and dedicated their lives to building champions.
Without them, there are no legends.
As Fight Rewind continues to preserve the golden era of Australian kickboxing and Muay Thai, we're asking a question that might be impossible to answer...
π WHO IS ON YOUR MOUNT RUSHMORE OF 90s TRAINERS? π
Do names like:
π₯ Dave Hedgecock
π₯ John Scida
π₯ Dana Goodson
π₯ Jamal Hasan
π₯ Joe Hilton
deserve a place?
Or would you replace them with pioneers such as:
π₯ Paul Fyfield
π₯ Phon Martdee
π₯ Bob Jones
π₯ Malcolm Anderson
π₯ Alan Wong
π₯ Stephan Fox
π₯ Bryce Birtwistle
π₯Nick Stone
π₯Nugget McNaught
Maybe we've missed someone entirely.
From Melbourne to Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, New Zealand and Thailand, these coaches helped shape a generation of fighters and built the foundations of the sport we love today.
So let's hear from the fighters, trainers, officials, promoters and fans who were there.
π Who shaped the Australian fight scene in the 1990s?
π Who produced the most champions?
π Who built the strongest gyms?
π Who changed the sport forever?
π Who doesn't get the credit they deserve?
Everyone believes their trainer was the best.
That's part of the game.
But today we're not talking about favourites...
We're talking about the pioneers who helped shape Australian kickboxing and Muay Thai into what it is today.
Who makes your Mount Rushmore?
Who are your Top 5?
And who are we forgetting?
π¬ Let the debate begin.
We want to hear from the people who lived it.
Tag your trainer, your gym, your teammates and the fighters who were there during the golden era of the 90s.
