ABOUT COACH DAN WILSON
​
From Boulder Colorado.
My athletic career started at the ripe age of 2 years old. I started skateboarding, and developing skills, which led to me turning semi pro from the age of 15-18 years old. I started Muay Thai and Kickboxing at about age 17. I was only taking Muay Thai for self defense when I started, but then started to take it very serious at age 19. I had my First amateur fight at 20 years old and went on to be the very first 135 lbs Colorado State Champion and a 135lbs 4 man Tournament Champion, with an amateur career of 15-1-0.
After winning the tournament I was invited to be sponsored by Lion Muay Thai in Phuket Thailand. I made my Pro debut in Thailand at age 24, leaving there with a record of 7-3 and a 2 x 62 KG Stadium champion. I lost the belt then went on a 3 fight win streak and won the belt back in a rematch.
After returning from Thailand at age 26 I continued my pro career, taking fights nationally and internationally fighting in Holland, on the East Coast, West Coast and Mexico. Fighting for notable promotions like Glory Kickboxing and Lion Fight Promotions.
I am still an active Pro Fighter with my latest accomplishment in fighting Kard Chuek (hands bound in ropes). After 3 Kard Chuek fights I went on to became the very first Mexican 65 kg Kard Chuek Champion. I have an active professional record of 27-6-0. In total including my amateur career I have 50 fights and counting! I am always striving to grow as a fighter, coach and as a person and soak up as much knowledge as possible.
I established Thrashers Muay Thai in June 2024.
In doing so,I look to share my knowledge with people that want to fight, learn self defense, have fun, learn and get in shape in the process.
What makes us different...
Having fought in both Disciplines of Kickboxing and Muay Thai, I have developed a Hybrid style that I believe will set us apart from other gyms. Knowing when and how to use a specific discipline and understanding why. I love giving back by teaching because Muay Thai is so close to my heart and such a passion of mine, it's like science and mathematics for me creating scenarios and drilling them to perfection.
Everything I Teach Is Battle Tested and I have personally used in a fight. My ultimate goal is, I’m looking to help people grow and hopefully fall in love with striking that way I have.
