His trainers were people from Thailand, who emigrated to Holland in the early 1960s. In 1975, Arnaud traveled to Thailand where he encountered the original practice of the sport. He trained in many different gyms and fought as farang Thai under Thai coaches and trainers, and he started teaching in 1979. Soon the Dutch government found his work useful as he was able to help groups that others were not even able to reach. The government hired him to train and help special, extremely difficult adolescence groups.
