Meet The Owners of Yak Yai Muay Thai
Our Muay Thai Mission
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.
