Mr. Adams Biography

Anastasia S. Adams

At the young age of 3, Anastasia began her Martial Arts training in Tulsa under her father, Khuen Khru Samuel F Adams. In September 2000, at the age of 9, she began her training at Adams Muay Thai Kali Academy, in both Thai Boxing and Mixed Arts classes. One year later, she attended her 1st Muay Thai Seminar with the Founder and President of the Thai Boxing Association of the USA, AJARN CHAI SIRISUTE. At age 10, she was the youngest that Khuen Khru Samuel Adams had ever seen training at one of Ajarn Chai Sirisute's seminars. She attended her 2nd seminar under Ajarn Chai Sirisute in September 2002.

On May 16, 2002, at age 11, she passed her Muay Thai Level 1 test under Khuen Khru Samuel F. Adams. The Muay Thai Level 1 test is designed by Ajarn Chai , for the instructors to prepare their students for testing under Ajarn Chai Sirisute for level 3, which certifies someone as Khuen Khru in Muay Thai under the Thai Boxing Association of the USA. Anastasia was promoted to Apprentice Instructor Level 2 in the Art of Muay Thai in July 2003. She is certified to teach what she has learned up to that level. July 17, 2004 she received her promotion to Apprentice Instructor Level 3 in the Art of Muay Thai. Anastasia has also received the awards of: THAI BOXER OF THE YEAR 2001 and YOUTH ATTENDANCE OF THE YEAR 2002, 2003 and 2004 at Adams Muay Thai Kali Academy. Ms. Adams is continuing her training in the arts Kali Silat, Eskrima, Groundfighting and Muay Thai.


Will Frayser


Some of my oldest memories are typically related to either my father being a part of the martial arts world, or my own personal experiences in the gym.  I began taking formal instruction in Mixed Arts in the kids program at Gibson’s Martial Arts at the age of 7, which focused primarily on the discipline of Karate under the instructors of Sifu Darian Whitaker, Harley Elmore, Larry Sinar, and Terry Gibson. 

I achieved the rank of Black Belt at the age of 10, continuing with the class for another 3 years before going into some of the adults’ program which studies Kali, Maphilindo Silat, and Muay Thai.  I took a long break from the martial arts world when I came into adolescence, finally returning to Khuen Khru Sam Adams at Adams Muay Thai at the age of 20, where I continue to train today.  I have already obtained the rank of Muay Thai level 1 under Khuen Khru Sam Adams, and began training in 2006 with Ajarn Chai Sirisute, the founder of the Thai Boxing Association.

I’m currently a member of the Adams fight team and also teach the Friday class at Adams Muay Thai.  Furthermore began competing in amateur Muay Thai fights in May of 2007, and even progressing to the semi-finals at the TBA North American championship of 2007.
 

Billy Clark

I started Martial Arts when I was about 7 doing Tae Kwon Do.

I began strictly Kickboxing when I was about 13.  I began fighting when I was 13.  I kept trained with the female world champion Cindy Christian.

Then I had a need for more, something deep inside that kickboxing did not fulfill me.  Then I heard about Khuen Khru Samuel Adams at Adams Muay Thai Martial Arts in Tulsa Oklahoma.  I tried it out and loved it!

Ever since then I’ve been in love with Muay Thai.  I went on to fight and win the Oklahoma State NAMTA title (Native American Muay Thai Association).  The IKF (International Kickboxing Federation) South Central Regional title. I fought in the IKF Muay Thai World Classics and got 2nd place.  Fought and won the Tri-State Welterweight NAMTA Division.  Then I fought in the TBA (Thai Boxing Association) Open in Iowa in the Welterweight division.  I had to fight a preliminary bout before fighting for the championship bout and winning the TBA-SA North American Muay Thai championship 2007.

I have trained with Ajarn Chai since November 2006.  I am currently ranked 5th in the world by IKF Welterweight division.

David Roman, Jr.

 I was very fortunate to find Gibson’s Martial Arts in 1993. Mr. Gibson had a variety of martial arts being taught at his school. Muay Thai, Kali, Silat, Jun Fan Gung Fu, Jeet Kune Do concepts and many others. I remember getting my first lesson from Mr. Elmore and being amazed by Mr. Gibson. For such a big guy he could move like few people I had ever seen. Gibson’s Martial Arts is where I first met Khuen Khru Adams. I’m happy to see that he carries on the traditions of Terry Gibson.

In 2002 I convinced my wife to give martial arts a try. We began taking Taekwondo together and are currently second degree black belts. I enjoy studying a variety of martial arts and have been fortunate to be able to study several martial arts in the last few years.
