Competing at the Asian Hapkido Championship 2026 held in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, young Pisit demonstrated exceptional martial arts skills and techniques, successfully overcoming numerous competitors from various participating nations.

For an 8-year-old Thai athlete to secure medals at an Asian championship level highlights the growing foundation of martial arts training in Thailand, which increasingly nurtures young talents for global competitions and builds international experience early on.
Ultimately, this successful overseas campaign allowed young Pisit to bring home a total of 3 medals for Thai sports fans, consisting of 2 gold medals and 1 silver medal, marking an impressive milestone and a bright future for Thai athletics.
