Welcome to Yak Yai Muay Thai

Great gym with great people

ENG: All the positive reviews are not a mere coincidence: YakYai works as a big family where everyone is welcomed. I had a blast in my one month stay there. Being an asmathic guy from far away overcoming depression, I learned a lot about myself while learning muay thai at YakYai. The coaches push you but are kind aswell. They are open to you if you are open to them, and they do not mind about joking and being funny. Everyone of the team will greet you with a smile every day. You will want to be better with each session, and their motivation has a lot to do with it. I still have a lot to learn back in my home country. Even so, I won't forget how I was treated at YakYai. It is definetly not for fighters with huge egos: this place is more beginner friendly. They take care of less experienced trainees and fighters, and don't encourage hard sparring just for the sake of it. Nevertheless, they will hone your skills if you want to fight. They will not ignore your drive to do so, and polish you at the best of their possibilities. If you are in Phuket and have the chance, I recommend you to do at least a one week trial. You won't regret it. —----------------------- ESP: Todas las reviews positivas no son mera casualidad: YakYai funciona como una gran familia donde todos son bienvenidos. La pasé genial durante el mes que estuve entrenando allá. Siendo un tipo con asma y luchando por superar mi depresión, aprendí mucho de mí mismo mientras entrenaba muay thai en YakYai. Los entrenadores van a presionarte para que mejores, pero son amables al mismo tiempo. Siempre el equipo te va a recibir con una sonrisa al llegar. Si sos abierto con ellos, ellos lo van a ser con vos. Cada sesión vas a querer mejorar, y gran parte de eso es la motivación de los entrenadores. Todavía tengo mucho que aprender acá en mi país. De cualquier modo, no voy a olvidarme jamás de como me trataron en YakYai. Definitivamente no es un lugar para luchadores llenos de ego: este lugar es amigable con los principiantes. No creen en hacer sparring duro solo por el hecho de hacerlo, y cuidan a los luchadores y alumnos menos experimentados. No obstante, van a pulir tus habilidades en caso de que quieras pelear. No van a ignorar tus ganas de hacerlo y van a intentar mejorarte al mejor alcance de sus posibilidades. Si estás en Phuket y tenés la posibilidad, te recomiendo que al menos intentes entrenar una semana en YakYai. No te vas a arrepentir.

I’m honestly so happy I found this place. If I could give it 100 points, I would. From day one, the energy, the people, and the level of training were just incredible. The trainers are highly skilled, attentive, and genuinely care. They really know what they’re doing and take the time to adjust the training to your level, which made such a difference for me. You don’t feel like just another person in a class, you actually feel seen and supported. There’s also a real sense of community here, which makes the whole experience even more special. Everyone is welcoming, and the environment is both motivating and positive. My time here was amazing and I’m already looking forward to coming back and continuing to train. This is hands down the best Muay Thai gym I’ve ever been to. I will never switch and I’ll recommend this place to everyone.

Had a morning session at Yak Yai for the first time when I was in Phuket few days ago. Had such an amazing experience and really enjoyed the well structured class! KC, Henry, the trainers and everyone were super friendly! The gym is super clean and all equipments, pads and bags go through a thorough wipe down after every use! Thank you for making my session such a pleasant one!

I Spent just over a week at Yak Yai. It is a very Friendly and welcoming gym regardless of your level of Muay Thai. The warm ups are great and are never the same. I really enjoyed the clinch technique which we did at the end of every session. . All the Krus are top guys, I personally did 6 privates with kru Jack and would 100% recommend anyone going to Yak Yai try Privates as you really do get to improve your technique. And it's always great to get that smile from your Kru when you implement a technique they have worked on with you in sparring/clinching. Henry, KC and the team have done a great job as the environment is 100% positive and I am glad I chose Yak Yai to train at. And if you find yourself reading this review whilst trying to choose a gym, Give Yak Yai a try you won't regret it :)

Great gym very good workouts and crew of trainers, always clean environment and equipment, personal attention, very challenging if u want a good place to train then go there and you won’t regret
