Mark Beecher: Building Champions

Behind every champion is a trainer and behind every trainer is a story. Mark "The Hyena" Beecher" grew up like any other kid, watching TV and wanting to be like his TV heroes. Growing up in Hawaii he would watch Kung Fu theater and Muay Thai. He didn't completely understand what Muay Thai was, but he was hooked on it ever since he first laid his eyes on it.

It isn't often kids actually get to become their TV heroes; most kids watch TV while growing up and are filled with unreal expectations. Everyone has been their at some point or another: Batman, Ninja Turtles, Zorro, Sponge Bob Square pants, etc. Luckily for Beecher he didn't get hooked on trying to become an underwater, walking, talking, breathing sponge. He got hooked on Muay Thai, making it and combat sports his life.
