Andy Souwer is widely recognised as one of the most accomplished and technically gifted kickboxers in modern combat sports history — a true champion’s champion whose legacy now fuels the next generation of fighters and coaches.
Born and raised in Den Bosch, Netherlands, Andy began his martial arts journey at just seven years old and went on to carve out a legendary professional career spanning more than two decades across kickboxing, shootboxing and striking arts.
A former two-time K-1 World MAX Champion (2005, 2007), four-time Shootboxing World Tournament Champion and It’s Showtime 70MAX World Champion, Andy competed — and conquered — against the very best in the world, including elite rivals such as Masato, Buakaw Banchamek, Albert Kraus and Mike Zambidis.
His relentless style, sharp combinations and strategic ring intelligence earned him widespread respect from fighters and fans across the globe.
After collecting multiple world titles and amassing an extraordinary record at the highest levels of kickboxing and shootboxing, Andy retired from professional competition in 2021 following a storied run at ONE Championship.
From Elite Competitor to World-Class Coach
Today, Andy channels that same competitive excellence and technical mastery into coaching and education. He operates the Souwer Sport Institute in Den Bosch — a destination gym attracting fighters and coaches from around the world — and delivers seminars internationally, sharing the systems that helped him become one of the most respected strikers in martial arts.
