Master Bob was introduced to Muay Thai in the early 80’s, were the hard hitting and harder training style stole his heart and soul.

Traveling to the Fairtex Muay Thai camp outside of Bangkok in the late 80’s in the middle of Thailand’s Golden Era, Master Bob became one of the first Americans to live, train, and fight in Thailand.

After training in Thailand, Master Bob returned to his gym in Philadelphia and taught his students the techniques and tricks he had learned. Muay Thai shows were unheard of during that time on the East Coast, so Master Bob introduced competitive Muay Thai Fighting events for both amateur and professional fighters. He brought in fighters from England, Ireland, and Holland to name a few, up and down the East Coast.

In 1992, Master Bob decided to expand Muay Thai in America and moved to Arizona to open the Fairtex Muay Thai Camp in the city of Chandler. As Founder of the Fairtex Camp, Master Bob had the opportunity to design and oversee the construction of a one of a kind, live-in facility. This became the only live-in Muay Thai style camp to fulfill the Thailand experience in the United States. Offering live in full-time training, amateurs and pros were able to train under the Fairtex name and experience Thai-style training in the USA. At the same time, Master bob continued to expand the sport of Muay Thai in Arizona by promoting amateur and pro events that brought in fighters from all over the world to compete in the Fairtex Muay Thai fight series.

Moving forward to 2020 Master Bob’s new venture is the Golden Era Muay Thai Camp located in beautiful North Scottsdale. Along with his long-time disciples, Nick Chasteen and Damien Earley, he will continue to give the people of Arizona an opportunity to study and practice Muay Thai with 3 legions in the sport.
