Meet the Team

Amin has been studying and training martial arts for many years. His love for martial arts started all the way back in 1997, and he has been practising and fighting competitively ever since. Inspired as a youth by Kung Fu, boxing and his brother’s competitive Taekwondo successes, Amin’s martial arts career truly began when he started training Muay Thai. He is supremely qualified as an MMA coach due to his excellent grounding in a wide range of disciplines including Taekwondo, Boxing, Muay Thai, Wrestling, Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Karate. Over the years he has taught at many martial arts and fitness institutions across Dubai, and this wide experience range gives him a lot of experience which he is keen to impart on his students. He is also a personal trainer, and has been teaching fitness and conditioning across the UAE.

One of the standout areas of development for Coach Amin is his work as a pads trainer. He was the official coach of MMA fight Amit Thapa for his SFL fights and entrance to the UFC, and also put our very own Mounir “Sniper” Lazzez through his paces on the way to achieving victory in Desert Force, Phoenix 4 and Brave 16. Amin has also supported Boxing Coach Mejdi, our kickboxing and K1 Fighter champion, and most recently our MMA Head Coach and fighter Anas Mounir, also in the Phoenix 4 competition.

A competitive fighter himself, Amin has achieved notable victories in Taekwondo, and more recently has fought competitively in DFC Dubai Fighting Championship. He is looking forward to continuing to learn and achieve greater heights as a coach and pads holder for our professional fighters.

“I’m very proud of my achievements in MMA and as a coach. Mounir gave me the nickname “Pads Killer”. It’s a talent I have developed over the years, and I’m not satisfied unless the fighter is dead after a pad session with me… if they can do five rounds in five minutes they will be ready for any fight!”
