In Episode 242, we launch the very first Global Muay Thai Roundtable, bringing together three voices from different corners of the Muay Thai world.

Joining the discussion are:

Jonathan Puu (USA) – Founder of Pu'u Muay Thai, coach, gym owner, ring official, and host of the Pu'u Muay Thai Podcast.

Jason Bryant (Canada) – Coach, commentator, gym owner, and host of the Shout Out Podcast.

Joe Comerford (Australia/Thailand) – Rajadamnern World Series (RWS) commentator, former pro fighter, content creator, and long-term Thailand resident.

Together we tackle some of the biggest questions facing Muay Thai today:

•  Is Muay Thai actually growing worldwide? 
•  Should Muay Thai be in the Olympics? 
•  How do amateur and professional development pathways differ across countries? 
•  Is entertainment Muay Thai changing the sport? 
•  How do regulations impact growth in North America? 
•  What countries are producing the strongest Muay Thai talent? 
•  Why is it so difficult for fighters to transition from amateur to professional competition? 
•  How can coaches, officials, and promoters help shape the future of Muay Thai? 

The conversation spans Thailand, Australia, Canada, and the United States, offering unique perspectives from commentators, coaches, gym owners, officials, and lifelong students of the sport.

This episode marks the beginning of an ongoing collaborative series designed to connect the global Muay Thai community and discuss the issues shaping the future of the art and sport we all love.
