Ajarn Chai is known throughout the world for his highly praised seminars on Muay Thai. He is the founder and president of the World Thai Boxing Association. In addition to the World Thai Boxing Association in the United States, he has established international associations in Germany, Barbados, Luxembourg, Canada, Mexico, U.K., Australia, New Zealand, Spain, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, Puerto Rico, and Sweden.

Throughout his 50+ years, Ajarn Chai has taught Thai Boxing techniques to over 20,000 students. His early years included teaching in backyards, YMCAs, colleges and universities. Specializing in training full contact fights for International competition in W.K.A., P.K.C., I.K.B.A., K.I.C.K. and Muay Thai, he also headed the first U.S. team to Thailand to compete in the International Championships (1982 Bangkok, Thailand). From 1983 to 1990, Ajarn Chai was a conditioning trainer for the Dallas Cowboys, and has trained many amateur and professional Thai boxers.

Muay Thai has no belt ranking system and can create a devastating fighter with a short period of intense training. As Ajarn Chai notes, “I believe that the one standing after a fight is the true expert.” Learn the ropes of Muay Thai from one of the great Masters of our time.
