The Punch it Newcomer Challenge
We, Punch it Gym Koh Samui, are the promoter of the international Punch it Newcomer Challenge – in association with Bernard Caplin and CHOK! Magazine, one of the most popular international martial arts magazines worldwide.
Together we have created an international tournament concept for Muaythai newcomers, encompassing 4 to 6 national tournaments in different countries and at different weight classes. Each national tournament winner wins 2 weeks free fightcamp at our gym here on Koh Samui, including hotel room. On top, each winner also gets the opportunity of a paid fight against a professional Thai fighter in the grand finale hier on Samui in November.
Each national tournament is a 4-participant format, our goal is to help develop new young talent around the world. The age range is set from 16 to maximum 21 years old, fighters cannot have fought in Thailand before and must not have more than 10 A-class Muaythai fights upon entry.
Each national tournament is organised by a local promoter, which can also be a federation or a club. Bernard Caplin, an experienced promoter, will assist all local promoters with their organisation, event planning and rules & regulations. The grand final will be at the famous Phetchbuncha Stadium on Koh Samui late November. All finalists will receive a small fight purse in baht for this fight, also special Muaythai clothing & accessories from Punch it.
A country may host a national tournament no more than twice, after which our committee will consider new countries. All applications to host a national tournament in the coming year must be approved by December.

@carabao_bremen donates €200 to support losing Punch it Newcomer Challenge 🇩🇪 finalist in Thailand.
WOW! Thanks to Christian Dinge & Nicole Ploghöft, a second young fighter will join this year's international tournament winners at @punch_it_gym_thailand - for a free two week fightcamp and a paid fight against a Thai opponent at Phetchbuncha Samui Stadium in November!
Nicolas Srdic from Fight Gym Nürnberg lost a very tough, close and exciting final fight at this year's german 4-man qualifier in Rathenow, after which I decided that he too would be invited to join us on Samui in November.
A few hours later, Christian offered to contribute, greatly helping partner Markus Muster and Punch it Gym Koh Samui cover the extra costs incurred. What a fantastic sporting gesture indeed. Even more so considering Carabao had a fighter of their own in the tournament and one in the reserve fight!
Thank you Christian, thank you Nicole, true Muaythai spirit and most definitely the spirit of the Punch it Newcomer Challenge!
