When serious Muay Thai people travel, they look for a real gym — one with authentic coaching lineage and a culture that practitioners recognize the moment they walk in.
In Seattle, that gym is Muaythai Iyarin.
THE CONNECTION TO THAILAND
Coach Tony's career spans over 30 years inside the sport — growing up in a Thai camp, fighting for it, coaching the Thai national team at Rangsit Stadium, and maintaining active relationships within the Muay Thai community in Thailand.
Those relationships are why the Thai government knows this gym. Why Thai Muay Thai organizations are familiar with what is being built here. Not from marketing — from three decades of being part of the sport at the source.
WHO HAS VISITED
The following fighters have visited or connected with Muaythai Iyarin:
Samart Payakaroon — four-weight Lumpinee champion. WBC world boxing champion.
Karuhat Sor Supawan — Lumpinee champion. One of the most technically studied fighters in Muay Thai history.
Jongsanan Fairtex — multiple Lumpinee titles. A recognized name in international Muay Thai for decades.
Saenchai — four-weight Lumpinee champion. Active competitor widely regarded as the most skilled in the sport today.
SuperLek Tded99 — ONE Championship Muay Thai World Champion.
Nong-O Gaiyanghadao — ONE Championship Muay Thai World Champion.
Stamp Fairtex — ONE Championship multi-sport world champion. One of the most recognized active fighters in combat sports.
Petchtanong Petchfergus — Rajadamnern Stadium champion.
And more.
These fighters came through because of personal connection — because Coach Tony is part of the same world they are, and because those relationships go back years.
