Riddlers Gym was established in 2003 when Darren Riddler Reece
decided to build a team of fighters around him as well as those
who were keen to learn the art of MuayThai. In this short time
Riddlers Gym has firmly established itself a reputation for
producing fit, quality fighters with all round skills. With this
reputation has grown the number of fighters and beginners all
wanting to learn the art of MuayThai from one of WAs most
experienced. Riddlers Gym is home to WMC World Champion Eugene
Boom Boom Ekkelboom, WMC Intercontinental Champion Chris
Wildthang White, State Champions Kim Olsen, Brad Wright, Luke
Aram, Caley Lewis and numerous up and coming talent like Mark
Selden, Dean Russell, Tim Morrison and Kylie Briggs.
Darren is a 73 fight veteran who spent years in Thailand and
Japan fighting and training and was the 1998 Kings Cup champion
and best boxer as well as the proud holder of WA, Australian and
Oceania titles.
With humble beginnings in his garage at home and a strong
passion for teaching the art the numbers have grown and by early
2006 it was time for a major change to a new and bigger
premises.
