Biography

[edit]

Ballantine started training in Judo at a young age, in which he received a blue belt. Then he began practicing Karate. He became a Dutch and European full contact karate champion. He also practised pencak silat. He then looked for bigger challenges, eventually discovering kickboxing and Muay Thai. Ballantine became a student of Thom Harinck, a pioneer of kickboxing in the west, and was one of the first top fighters who fought out of Chakuriki Gym.[2]

Ballantine became a three-time European and a nine-time World kickboxing and Muay Thai champion.[3] During his career he has faced many highly ranked Asian and European opponents. He holds notable victories over fighters such as Ramon Dekkers (twice), Sangtiennoi Sor.Rungroj and Michael Kuhr. He also faced Muay Thai legend Samart Payakaroon in Bangkok, Thailand.

After his kickboxing career, Ballantine also competed in mixed martial arts competition and won three Rings Dutch championships.

Ballantine retired from fighting in 2003. After his career, he taught Kickboxing and Muay Thai at Mandingo Gym, Purmerend.
