Luis Henrique Regis, aka Luis "MACACO" Regis originally started training in the Brazilian martial art “Capoeira” at  14 years of age, a passion which is still growing today.

 
After moving to Australia Luis started training Muay Thai under Steve Fielding's gym and saw the potential Muay Thai has in Australia. Being very close to Thailand and having many Thai trainers around and a number of gyms to choose from, Luis decided to have his 1st fight after an intensive 6 month training period. Resulting in a WIN on points.
 
“After my first fight, everything changed, i had a feeling that i could not explain to anyone.
When people asked me what does it feel to be in the ring?
I would say, it feels like something that brings me up to the limit, it is so different of anything you can imagine & I can't really explain it. But i sure want to feel it again!”
 
One friday morning Luis was training and working on his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Steve fielding came and asked him if he would be interested in a Muay Thai fight with full Thai rules. Meaning full elbows, against an opponent that had 20 fights, against Luis's record of 2 fights (1w,1l). To add to the mix, the fight was scheduled for that same very night, not much notice!
Luis took the fight and won in the first round by KO, with a spinning backwards elbow. From that moment Luis decided that Muay Thai was in his future and Muay Thai became his Life!
 
From there Luis was typically matched with opponents with more fight experience. After a further 6 fights for 6 wins Luis was presented the opportunity to fight for his first professional State Title Fight against Charlie Bechwaty (34f,30w).
Luis won the fight with a 4th round KO, by way of a beautiful spinning heel kick. Another WIN by points against a New Zealand champion with 20+ fights behind him.
 
Luis’s Record stands at 12 fights – (10w-2l), 5 KO's & is the current NSW Professional Muay thai Champion.
 
“People think that fighting is about hiting each other and being angry. But Muay Thai is totally the other way around. Muay Thai involves technique and determination, being smart is the Best way to fight, and best way to live your Life. You can learn how to control yourself, mentally and physically. I want to inspire people to chase their dreams and work hard untill they achieve them.”

Train Muay Thai, it will make you a better person in every aspect.
