MUAY THAI · BOXING · KICKBOXING COACH
Joy
Muay Thai, boxing and kickboxing coach who stepped into a Muay Thai gym at eight and never really left — around 300 professional fights, 195 of them wins. As an amateur he won the Northeastern Thailand Universal Boxing Championship at 32 kg, took silver at the National Student Games in Khon Kaen, fought at several National Games and was selected into Thailand's programme for Olympic prospects. Seven years coaching Muay Thai at Elite Fight Club, two years coaching in Japan and a spell in Singapore — used to explaining technique across a language barrier, which matters a lot when you arrive in Phuket for the first time.

What Joy teaches
Across the language barrier

For health, and for the art
Straightforward about why he teaches: for health, and to pass on the art of Muay Thai.
