Biography & career

Early life

Wayne Parr began training in Taekwondo at the age of 11. As Parr was growing up, his family moved a lot and his mother helped him find a new gym each time they settled in a new place, in order to keep her son in training. At the age of sixteen, his family moved back to Queensland, and Parr began training with Blair Moore. Moore trained Parr for 13 fights, with Parr winning an Australian title (63kg) at the age of 17. A South Pacific title by 5th round knock out over Scott Lovelock was also won when Parr was 19.cite web | url=http://www.boonchu.com/jwp.htm | title="John Wayne Parr Biography" "| last=Parr | first=Wayne | accessdate=2008-03-31 | publisher=www.boonchu.com]

He was voted the "Best Farang Fighter" of the year in 1997, fought at Lumpinee Stadium three times, and at his first Thai King's birthday. In 1999 Parr moved back to Australia to open his own gym.cite web| url=http://www.myspace.com/johnwayneparr| title="About me:"
