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.

It’s been years I’ve been following Henry’s (owner) journey in Muay Thai since meeting him in New York City. I’ve watched him fight at big stadiums and finally got to visit his gym with his wife in Phuket. The internet tells you all the authentic Muay Thai gyms are in Chalong. There are some touristy traps. But this one is a gem. My boyfriend and I both booked an hour session. I had Jacky and he had Jack (lol). We enjoyed our session so much that we’re planning to train more consistently back in NYC. Jacky and Jack were both funny and enjoyable to train with. It was my boyfriend’s first time and he loved it! I’ve been trained by Henry before so I was happy that Jacky taught me a few new moves. They train you at your experience level, it’s all the perks of one on one training. It’s so much more engaging! We stayed a little after to watch a class, and it was 2 hours long where they did circuits mixed with training one on one with many trainers. I wish I had more time, I would’ve went back for that. If you’re in Phuket, Thailand - it’s a MUST DO. It’s such a local experience and also, it’s pretty cool. Both owners are on the USA team. Recognized and reputable trainers and gym.

From the moment we walked into the gym, we were warmly greeted by Henry the owner! The facility was spacious and kept very clean and organized. Coaches were great and training was fun! The next time we are back in town, I will most definitely drop by again! :) My only regret was I didn't buy merch from them :(

Took a few classes at Yak Yai while holidaying in Phuket. Trainers were awesome, facility was very clean and the owner Henry was cool, friendly and welcoming! I am prone to staph when training hard so seeing the effort they put in to cleaning the facilities gave me real reassurance. Would recommend.

Was training through Thailand and Yak Yai had been recommended for me to check out. Easily the nicest facility I trained at which, trust me, goes a long way when your training daily. Very clean, amazing space, new equipment, and great mats that don’t destroy your feet. Also the sickest apparel Henry and KC have done an incredible job creating a warm and inviting environment. All the trainers were very kind and very engaged throughout. Hard training, technical work, and awesome people. Can’t ask for more
