About Ronnie Najjar
Ronnie Najjar is an Australian Muay Thai coach and former professional fighter with almost 30 years of experience in combat sports. Between 1999 and 2009, he competed in Muay Thai, boxing, and kickboxing, with 22 professional fights, and was ranked No. 3 in Australia’s cruiserweight division by the World Muay Thai Council (WMC).
Ronnie learned his craft at the Sityodtong Academy in Melbourne under Jeab Sityodtong, a former Thai stadium fighter from the legendary Sityodtong Camp in Thailand, founded by Kru Yodtong Senanan, widely regarded as one of Muay Thai’s most influential coaches. This gave Ronnie a strong foundation in authentic, old-school Muay Thai, which he later refined through competition and training around the world.
He has trained in over 30 countries and taught seminars across five continents, working with people from all walks of life; from professional fighters and Navy SEALs to everyday students.
Drawing from these experiences, Ronnie’s coaching blends the precision of Japan, the creativity and flow of Thailand, and the structured approach of the West, combining traditional Muay Thai with modern methods to keep training technical, efficient, and practical.
