In his youth Suttie fought under the great NZ trainer Lollo Heimuli of the gym Balmoral Lee Gar, training alongside Ray Sefo, Jayson Vemoa and Doug Viney.[1] Having some 25 fights before opening his own gym, Jason has been very successful both as an amateur and professional kickboxer. As an amateur he took a New Zealand title and the South Pacific super middleweight and light heavyweight titles.
In 1996 Jason graduated from Auckland with a B.A. in education and in the same year was the first Kiwi to fight in the K-1 kickboxing promotion, at his fight Ray Sefo was in the audience negotiating his K-1 contract.
In 1997 Jason won his first world title and by 2000 he had racked up five more world titles in five different weight divisions from super middleweight (76 kg) through to super heavyweight (95 kg) with four different federations.[2]
In 2010 he was acquitted of aggravated robbery and blackmail charges.[3]
