My name is Jem Akalin. My journey in Muay Thai started back in 2008 as a 12 year old boy. I started at the Minotaur Gym, now known to be The Knowlesy Academy, with Christian Knowles, Lyndon Knowles and the Late Paul Taylor. I trained there for over a year before coming to Nomads at the age of 13, where I met and fought under Steven Mills, Samuel Wilson & Kenny Gayle. All multiple time Muay Thai champions.
I had a total of 21 fights as a junior. With a decision record of 8w 1d 4l with one KO victory. I managed to join the top 10 ranking at #7 in 2009. I got a silver medal in the 2010 WKA British championship tournament, finishing as runner up. I fought throughout my teenager years into my early twenties where I slowed down my fight career and transitioned into a coach due to unforeseen health problems. I’ve been teaching Muay Thai since the age of 16, and I’ve been teaching at Nomads since 2018. I’ve trained people to go on to become British, National & European champions in both Muay Thai and kickboxing.
Currently I am the coach for the Begginers at nomads, where we go over basic & fundamentals to get you started in training and/or fighting. I also offer Personal training to those who want to learn.
I will be resuming my career as a fighter, while also coaching the guys and girls at my gym. I take pride in sharing my knowledge with the younger people or anyone that’s willing to learn and better themselves. As a fighter & coach I love passing on what I know, while also still learning and getting better myself.
