Welcoming Cutman Pako to Australian shores. This seminar is open to all coaches registered with the Combat Sports Authority to learn from one of the best cutmen in the world. Any coaches 

The seminar is hands on and will help coaches upskill in looking after their fighters and athletes.

Born in France, Pako discovered martial arts at age 7, inspired by Bruce Lee and Jean-Claude Can Damme. After earning his black belt in Kung Fu, he moved to the U.S., where he transitioned from Sanda to Muay Thai under Bunkerd Fairtex in San Francisco. He later taught and fought in New York, winning gold at the 2011 WKA World Championship for Team USA.

Now based in Thailand, Pako is a coach at Luktupfah Gym, training top athletes like Smokin’ Jo Nattawut and Ayaka “Little Tiger” Miyauchi. Passionate about fighter safety, he also built a reputation as an elite Cutman, working with ONE Championship, BKFC Asia, and Fairtex Fight, and is a member of the ICA. In 2024, Pako co-founded the Global Cutman Training Course (GCTC) with Caroline Busarabavonwongs to educate trainers and aspiring cutmen — and to help keep fighters safe.
