DAVE AGUTTER |
|
|
|
Dave has over 20 years experience training in and teaching Thai Boxing which includes competing on the national stage. He is a Personal Trainer and Fitness Instructor who specialises in weight management, and core strength and stability and uses this knowledge to help break down the perceived “old school” Martial Arts tuition. He is fully qualified in applied nutrition but stresses the need to take everything in moderation – including diets!
Dave understands the value of “all over” fitness and cross-training rather than concentrating on a particular bodily area or sports-specific training. Dave started York Thai Boxing in 2006 and it has gone from strength to strength. Dave has:
Helped students to achieve goals such as weight loss through a combination of exercise and dietary analysis.
Trained students in readiness for various events ranging from 5Km “Race for Life” through to the Great North Run and triathlons.
Provided personal training for the Nations Cup Pro-Am Polo team.
Ran “boxercise” style classes and both Thai Boxing related and standard circuits’ classes.
Taught 2nd year BTEC National Diploma students in the fundamentals of fitness and Thai Boxing.
Worked with several local schools to teach both Thai Boxing and fitness sessions to a number of different age groups.
Trained students in private sessions to prepare them for specific fights.
Designed and delivered lessons for all grades of Thai Boxing students from beginner through to advanced.
Travelled to Thailand to further his education as a Thai Boxer and instructor whilst living and training at camps in Bangkok and Pattaya.

DAVE PHILIPS |
|
|
|
Dave began his fight training in boxing at York Boxing Club. After a couple of years he found Thai Boxing under the tutelage of World Champion Rich Cadden. Over the years he has trained with World Champions Liam Harrison and Andy Howson of Bad Company in preparation for his fights and also at the world famous Jitti Gym in Bangkok.
He brings an entirely different approach to the other Dave, but we thought we'd keep things simple for the students by using the same name!
His technical Sunday classes are proving a big hit and he has a very particular way of firing up the students!
