KENU

I'm Kenu “The Tamil Tiger” Suthakaran, an MMA Athlete & Coach based in South East London. My journey in martial arts began at nine with Karate, where I competed nationally and internationally, fueling my passion for the sport and instilling in me a drive for excellence. At 16, I transitioned to Muay Thai, exploring Kickboxing and Muay Thai competitions before fully immersing myself in Mixed Martial Arts at 18. Through dedicated training in Boxing, Muay Thai, Jujitsu, and Wrestling, I've crafted my own comprehensive system tailored to my strengths. Now, as the owner of The Tiger Den gym in South East London, I focus on empowering my students with the same drive and dedication that has fueled my own journey. Representing my Tamil heritage in the cage is a profound honor, driving me to embody our resilience and spirit in every bout, and to inspire others to do the same.
