Yak Fight Team in action @ Tricia’s Gym

Superb performance from all six Yak fighters.
Proud to see how far these guys have progressed in just six months, and this is only the beginning…

Even managed to earn myself some new socks which are going to feature at all future fights!

Congrats to all fighters and thanks to all family, friends and fellow students who came to cheer them along.

Thanks to Tricia’s Gym for hosting at their well organised Interclub.

July & August ‘26 @ Yak Thai Boxing
“Make hay whilst the sun shines”

We all enjoyed the sun and some well earned holidays, but Summer was definitely not an off-season for the Yak Family 💚

We worked through two new topics covering both boxing and kick-dominant Muay Thai styles, refining distance control and timing our strikes with some creative use of hula hoops and ropes. Massive improvements from students of all ages.

Early July saw the first Summer Celebration which was a great opportunity to get together and celebrate everyone’s hard work and progress so far this year.

We welcomed more new members across all classes, and experienced some juniors moving up into teens classes - it’s awesome seeing the community grow and develop month after month. Muay Thai is thriving across the UK and we’re proud to be a part of it. 🙏

And of course, our new shorts arrived courtesy of the incredible team at Suzi Wong.

September is already shaping up to be another milestone month…we have some new fighters stepping up after months of solid training and hard work…. watch this space 👀

Thanks as always to the parents and guardians who bring their kids to train with us week after week, and to students of all ages showing up and putting in huge efforts.

We had a milestone moment on Tuesday…

Our first student aged out of the kids (5-10yrs) group and stepped up into the teens class (11+yrs)

Well done Frankie, you took that first teens class in your stride and showcased everything you’ve already learnt in the kids classes. We’re all super proud of you. Keep up the great work and you’ll be knocking the teens around the room in no time!

Really pleased we can help support the move to high school and good luck for your first day in Year 7! 💚

Late in posting this due to holidays, but wanted to say a huge well done to this guy.

Proud is not the word. 💚

Within the last two/three weeks Mr G has:

- Completed another Interclub against a very skilled and experienced opponent (thanks to Johnson's Muay Thai for a very well organised Interclub as always, we really enjoy attending your events).

- Helped to deliver four 1-2-1 sessions alongside the usual group classes, as part of his work experience programme at school.

- Managed to sneak in some overseas Muay Thai training whilst on holiday in Spain

Keep going Mr G, big things are coming 💚🙏

What an awesome Sunday lunchtime!

Today we held the Yak Summer Celebration, with around 60 of the Yak family coming together for some pad demonstrations and pizza.

All students showed great skill and progress in their training, and personally I feel hugely grateful for the time our students and their parents/carers devote to this amazing sport week in week out.

Thanks to everyone who came along, especially the kids for showing bravery in their pad demos, and representing the club in a very positive and respectful way. 💚

Thanks to Lucianos at The Millstone for hosting us and providing quality pizza and service 🙏

June ‘26 @ Yak Thai Boxing

What a month! So many highlights and so many milestone achievements for the Yak Family 💚

We launched two new classes on a Thursday:
Kids (5-10yrs) @ 6:15pm
Mixed Teens & Adults @ 7:15pm
Both are extremely busy and it’s been a particular pleasure watching the parents exploring Muay Thai alongside their teen sons & daughters in the new Thursday class.

Our main topic this month was Muay Khao - focussing on knee strikes and effective clinchwork. Both kids and teens growing in confidence with clinching, culminating with a solid teen clinch sparring session on the last Friday of June. All students left June with new clinch techniques to explore and a newfound use for tennis balls🎾 (if you know you know!)

Our Tuesday kids class took their first steps into sparring (biggest smiles I’ve seen from the group!)

We braved the heatwave with the help of AC and some cheeky ice creams 🍦

And finally, the long awaited Member’s Guides arrived, giving our students more to read on the science of eight limbs, and showing them the many ways to explore and grow.

As always, a huge thank you to the parents who bring their kids to train with us week after week, and to the students that show up with 100% effort and an eagerness to learn.

Thanks for making the Yak Family such a special group to be part of 💚
