Leon Mynhardt

 

Leon “IRON LION” Mynhardt, and have been involved in martial arts for over 16 years and haven’t been out of the game ever.. Before he started he always had an interest in the fighting game, until he was introduced to kickboxing by a very good friend of his back in 1997. He started training just for fun and to learn a few moves to be able to protect himself, as he grew up in a very rough area, the people, especially guys in school, was always on about who is the best fighter and best this and that… He never got involved in this type of behavior and kept himself to the more fun things in life. As he finished his last couple of years in school he was training kickboxing only twice a week and competed in several styles of fighting like light contact, full contact kickboxing and SHIDOKAN (triathlon of martial arts) At first he lost a couple of bouts and learned that he had to train more to become better, and he did exactly that. Five days a week once a day and he was getting stronger and more confident.. That’s when he decided through inspiration from my coach at that time, that this is what he wanted to do and he wanted to take it to the next level, after winning the Pro Am kickboxing Title in his weight division and defended it for more than a year, he was ready to take on the Pro circuit. He competed in all the styles of fighting that was available and have the following titles under his name.

• SA Kickboxing champion (approx. 20 fights)

• SA K1 rules Champion (more than 40 fights),

• SA Muay- Thai Champion (+- 6 fights)
