About The Owners
Two passionate fighters – Henry Lee and KC Carlos–founded Yak Yai Muay Thai in 2022.
Their mission began with wanting to share the highest standards of training with Muay Thai enthusiasts, whether it was their first time trying a class or if they were a long-time veteran of the sport.
After working together for many years and dedicating more than half of their lives to Muay Thai, they decided to create their own legacy to share with martial artists all over the world. Thus, Yak Yai Muay Thai was born on the sunny island of Phuket, Thailand.
It is their hope that every student that walks through the doors learns something new about themselves and the beautiful Art of Eight Limbs. Yak Yai Muay Thai guarantees incredible training by passionate coaches and friendly training partners. Beginners and experienced athletes alike will gain a new perspective, as well as many new tools and techniques.
They guarantee that they will provide you with a dedicated strategic plan to improve your overall goals through your journey in Muay Thai.

Reviews
I had a great time training at Yak Yai Muay Thai for half a week. Yak Yai was founded by Henry and his wife who are (still) professional fighters and have trained in Thailand for extended periods of time. The atmosphere was friendly and the Krus were tactful in adjusting the pace according to the student's pace. It is also very evident when you train / observe training that the Krus really put time aside for people of all levels - regardless whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or professional level. As it was my first time going to Phuket to train, I wanted to be 'wise with my time' and choose the right gym to train at. Henry was very quick and patient in responding to my 101 questions on prices, schedules for privates, Krus, cleanliness etc over Whatsapp. Yak Yai charges 100 baht to rent their gloves and rationalised it because they clean it daily - and yes, there really isnt any odours to their handwraps, gloves and shin pads. I would say that its a fair price for sanitised equipments. Overall, great gym and culture. 10/10 would go again.

Fantastic Vibes at the gym. Coaches are super friendly and music is great. What stands out for me is the fact how clan the gym was. Classes had good structure, slightly different to your usual Thai gym flow but that’s not a bad thing. I would highly recommend this gym to anyone visiting. Especially if you are just starting out as you will get a great first experience.

Юг Пукета полон боксёрскими залами. Они примерно одинаковые по стоимости, но очень разные по качеству. Любой, кто ходил хотя бы в 3–4, знает: уровень организации этого мероприятия бывает очень разный. Этот зал — лучший зал на юге острова. Он большой, светлый и чистый. Чистый зал перманентно. Чистые зеркала! Нет запаха сырости, нет плесени. Нет личных вещей тренеров и тех кого тренируют в непонятных местах. Порядок, you know Мешки. В некоторых залах мешки полупустые, low kick version. Здесь любой мешок рабочий и полный! На какой бы ни встал — получишь удовольствие. Здесь декоративное очень хорошо и правильно отделено от функционального. Программа. Динамичная. Есть работа с гирями, блинами, есть кондиция, есть то, что сам себе не заставишь сделать, а здесь это часть разминки. При этом здесь приветствуется и постоянно продвигается идея о том, что вы в первую очередь тренируете собственное тело, а не участвуете в массовом состязании по присяду. Thank you, mr. Henry. Ротация тренеров. У тебя не один тренер на три раунда лап, а четыре раунда с четырьмя разными тренерами! Это обеспечивает правильный тонус всем участникам процесса. Здесь всё в порядке. Очень рекомендую всем любителям тайского бокса.
