Yodtong Senanan, who was honored by the Royal Thai family with a lifetime achievement award for his dedication to the national sport and his involvement in creating 57 Muay Thai champions, founded Sityodtong. The most successful training camp in the sport's history has been Sityodtong.
Samart Payakaroon (4x lumpinee champion, WBC champion) now runs Poptheeratham Gym, Kongtoranee Payakaroon (5x lumpinee champion) now works at Evolve in Singapore, Nuengpichit Sityodtong (former lumpinee and WMC champion) and Yoddecha Sityodtong (former lumpinee and WMC champion) are among the champions produced at Sityodtong (also a WMC champion who now works at Evolve in Singapore).
Many of Yodtong Senanan's champions were orphans who were taken into the camp, cared for, and given a chance to excel. Yodtong Senanan won the lottery twice and used his money into feeding and housing his fighters.
