Superbon returns to the grind after string of Australian seminars.

Superbon is back on the grind following a string of seminars in Australia.

The ONE interim featherweight kickboxing world champion is back in his home facility of Superbon Training Camp and has resumed training with famed coach Trainer Gae.

The pair have been working together for several years and it was Trainer Gae who helped Superbon develop his signature pocket head kick.

Coincidentally, it was that same technique that Superbon began working on with Trainer Gae the moment he laced up the gloves in Bangkok.

Superbon shared on Instagram:

"Control is the key, not the power @trainer_gae @superbon.trainingcamp @superbon.store."

That same headkick became synonymous with Superbon, and its status was amplified when he knocked out Tayfun Ozcan and the legendary Giorgio Petrosyan in his ONE Championship tenure.

Head kicks are often used from a distance, but Superbon decided to break the convention and use the devastating move from up close.

It's no surprise that those head kick knockouts became Superbon's best highlights in ONE Championship since those were proper one-hitter quitters that helped create his mystique within the kickboxing world.

The first of such highlights came at the expense of Petrosyan, who saw Superbon claim the inaugural ONE featherweight kickboxing world title at ONE: First Strike.

Superbon then repeated the same highlight when he flatlined Ozcan at ONE Fight Night 11.


Superbon eyes vengeance against Tawanchai and Chingiz Allazov

Superbon isn't one to let losses fester in his record, and the Thai megastar is hellbent on rectifying his mistakes.

In a recent interview with ONE Championship, the ONE interim featherweight kickboxing world champion admitted he wants to avenge his losses to ONE featherweight Muay Thai world champion Tawanchai PK Saenchai and ONE featherweight kickboxing world champion Chingiz Allazov.

He said:

"Whoever I lost to, [Tawanchai and Allazov] I want to fix what's wrong. I want to get revenge and go back and beat them."
