| Hassan Mansour - Representative for Lebanon |
Kru (Teacher) Hassan “Axe” Mansour is a highly respected fighter,
teacher, and trainer in the disciplines of Muay Thai, Muay Chaiya, and Muay Boran. He has fought all over the world, and was the
2011 Muay Thai Champion of the Middle East.
He trained extensively in Thailand, and that’s also where he tested and received
his teaching credentials. Here at home,
between teaching Muay Thai to adults and children, his practice as a licensed
Massage Therapist, and numerous VIP Security assignments, he continues to train
brutally hard, and is without a doubt one of the sheer toughest fighters I
personally have seen in 20 years.
In 2013, Kru Hassan joined The Detroit Kali-Silat Academy
as one of the first new students in our newly established school in Dearborn,
Michigan. He refused any and all
deference from us with respect to his rank in Muay Thai “I’m just a beginner
like any other beginner” he would insist.
But Kru Hassan was not an ‘ordinary’ beginner. He immersed himself in Kali-Silat training
with a true passion. Attending every
class, practicing between sessions, asking the assistant instructors for extra
attention at every opportunity, refining his technique. He even strongly encouraged his own students
and stable of fighters to train in Kali-Silat as well. Within 3 months or so, he was already training
on the “other side of the room” with our advanced students.
Kru Hassan has more than earned the respect of the
Teachers and students of The Detroit Kali-Silat Academy. It gives us great pleasure to now officially appoint
him as our Representative in his home country of Lebanon. He will henceforth be organizing and
promoting Kali-Silat training there with our blessing. We are quite confident that his program will
flourish.
Congratulations to Kru Hassan “Axe” Mansour. Mabuhay!
