My Story
In the late 1990s, together with a friend, I stepped into a kickboxing school for the first time, at gym Johan Vos in Amsterdam. From that moment on, I was sold. Training was tough, but it gave me discipline, self-confidence and a passion that has become a part of my life.
I visited many galas and competitions and became fascinated by the different styles of Dutch gyms. Not only did I watch, I analyzed how I thought fighting should be done. My path began not in the ring, but on the mat: years of training, learning from coaches, and immersing myself in technique, discipline and mindset.
For me, kickboxing is not only about winning or losing, but mainly about personal growth and mental resilience. From that vision we founded Spallys: a place where everyone is welcome – beginner or advanced – and where we have an eye for the person behind the punch or kick.
Today, ring fighters from home and abroad also train at Spallys. That was never the main goal, but a result of the level we strive for together. With a diverse team of passionate trainers, we bring oldskool kickboxing in a modern format – right in the middle of Amsterdam-Oost.
