Meet Tomer Litvin of Siam Star Mixed Martial Arts in Allen

Local Stories

Today we’d like to introduce you to Tomer Litvin.

Owner and Muay Thai Instructor, Tomer Litvin, discovered his passion for Muay Thai more than 18 years ago. His amateur exploits in the ring eventually led him to a spot in Fairtex’s world- renowned personal-tutoring program. This gave him the chance to go padded fist to padded fist against numerous European champions, and started a career as a certified Fairtex instructor. Also holding a Black Belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Tomer now channels his love of the martial arts into manning the helm for his own school.

In addition to the striking form of Muay Thai and the grappling art of BJJ, Tomer and his staff also teach the highly practical self-defense art of Krav Maga. In these mixed-martial- arts classes, students can put the varied fighting disciplines together to form a comprehensive sport-fighting system useful for defending themselves.

Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
I was lucky enough to have very few bumps in the road. I manage my business in a very conservative way. In 2009 I had to move from my first location and was subleasing from a big chain gym. That turned out to be a bad decision and for about 2 and a half years we were struggling. Eventually, that is also what pushed me into leasing my own spot in Allen. Since then we have grown consistently and we have over 200 regular members including both kids and adults who participate in 4 different main programs.

Please tell us about Siam Star Mixed Martial Arts.
We are a martial arts school in Allen, TX. We specialize in Brazilian jiu-jitsu and Muay Thai for kids and adults. We also offer a full Tae Kwon Do program for kids and an MMA program for adults.

We are part of the Soul Fighters Brazilian jiu-jitsu association (We are the headquarters for Texas) under Coach Bruno “Tank” Mendes. We regularly compete in Brazilian jiu-jitsu / MMA / Muay Thai in Texas and around the US. We have several World BJJ champions under us.

What sets us apart from every other school is our high level of instructions and the fact that we are not just a gym but a family for our students and members.

Do you look back particularly fondly on any memories from childhood?
Riding on my dad’s lap when I was about 4 years old and he would let me drive his Jeep up the street when he came home.
