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.

Een vriend van mij had al een voorselectie gemaakt van diverse kickboksen scholen in Phuket en na een kort bezoek besloten we hier een groepstraining en een personal training te doen de dag erop. De sportschool is grote oppervlakte, 2 ringen, grote mat en spiegels en ziet er opgeruimd & strak uit. Bij de ingang hangen de cv’s van diverse trainers zodat je weet wat je kan verwachten …. En ze maken deze beloftes waar. Veel persoonlijke aandacht omdat min 4 trainers tegelijk les geven, zware intensiteit van de training (kom je tenslotte ook voor) en zowel voor beginners als ervaren vechters prima sportschool. Prima om een clinic van een paar weken te doen lijkt mij. Mijn dochter en ik hebben prima tijd gehad, afgemat en eea bijgeleerd ….lang verhaal kort in Phuket moet je hier zijn voor een betrouwbare kickboks school locatie!

Yak Yai Muay Thai Gym is hands down one of the best places to train! The gym itself is always spotless — super clean, well-organized, and clearly maintained with care. It’s the kind of place where you instantly feel comfortable and ready to train hard. The owners are incredibly friendly and welcoming, creating a really positive, family-like atmosphere. You can tell they truly care about everyone who trains there. The trainers are amazing — highly skilled, patient, and genuinely invested in helping you improve. They push you to reach your best while keeping every session fun and encouraging. What really sets Yak Yai apart is how personal the experience feels — the trainers quickly become friends, not just coaches. They’re even happy to hang out after a long week of training, whether it’s grabbing dinner together or enjoying a night out as a group. If you’re looking for a clean, professional, and genuinely friendly Muay Thai gym where you can learn, grow, and be part of a great community, Yak Yai is the place to be. Highly recommend!
