Knox Jolie-Pitt, 17, Trains in Muay Thai After Winning IKF Gold

3 articles · Updated · Thought Catalog · Jun 2

Summary

  • Los Angeles photos showed 17-year-old Knox Jolie-Pitt leaving a Muay Thai session this week in full fight gear, underscoring that he is still actively training.
  • July brought a clearer marker of that progress: on his 17th birthday, Knox won gold at the IKF Point Muay Thai Technical competition, with Angelina Jolie and twin sister Vivienne at ringside.
  • He has practiced the sport for years and has since added at least one more title, suggesting the latest sighting reflects an ongoing competitive routine rather than a one-off workout.
  • The report frames that training as functional fight preparation—Muay Thai builds striking power, core strength and conditioning—contrasting it with Brad Pitt's leaner, movie-focused Fight Club physique.
