WHO IS SHAM
I was a bullied kid. I found Muay Thai at 12, lost my way, and ended up in prison. When I got out in 2017 I had nothing. No money, no reputation, no plan. What I had was a pair of gloves and a decision.
Today I fight professionally, coach over a thousand students at my academy in Singapore, and use this sport to rebuild anyone who feels the way I used to feel. Soft. Behind. Ashamed of the gap between who they are and who they know they could be.
Muay Thai closed that gap for me. Not motivation. Not a quote on a wall. A structure, a set of non-negotiables, and a reason to show up every single day. Week by week it turned a man trying to change into a fighter. That shift, in identity and not just fitness, is what makes everything stick.
The record is honest, so I will be too. I won my professional debut and it felt easy. Then the sport gave me back-to-back losses, and those two taught me more than the win ever did. Two prison sentences interrupted everything. The comeback fights after them were the hardest ones, where the man I was trying to become had to beat the man I used to be. Since then I have been checking off Thailand's stadiums one fight at a time, juggling the businesses and the coaching back home. Patong was one of them. Lumpinee and RWS are the big ones. At Lumpinee I stood across from a strong Thai with over a hundred fights to his name and lost. In the rematch I redeemed myself. That one is my proudest.
The work grew past me. What started as one man trying to stay out of trouble became an academy, then a second venture, then a community of over a hundred thousand people watching the journey. I coach kids who remind me of the boy I was, and grown men who remind me of the man I have become.
I walked into my first Muay Thai class at 12. The road from that day led all the way to Lumpinee Stadium, representing Singapore against international fighters and earning championship belts, four titles to date.
Comeback fights after prison, then a run at Thailand's stadiums, from Patong to the big ones, Lumpinee and RWS.
Co-founded the dedicated fight gym where champions are trained. I coach over a thousand students there.
Co-founded the place where beginners learn to fight in a safe and fun environment. Everyone's first round should feel like this.
Built a brand of 141,000 people and counting who follow the journey, plus the Dont Spill Beer podcast.
I was you. That is not a marketing line. That is my record.
