BRAYDON FIVEASH
HEAD COACH
Coach Braydon, the head coach of Muay Thai at our gym, embarked on a unique journey into the world of martial arts. His fascination with European parkour videos during his early teens led him to explore free-running with friends. Seeking to augment his acrobatic skills, he enrolled in a gymnastics gym and ventured into Martial Arts Tricking, mastering intricate kicks and flips from various disciplines. It was a Muay Thai lesson in 2010 that sparked the flame of his martial arts passion.
While initially engaging in sporadic training, Braydon's commitment to Muay Thai intensified over the years. A pivotal moment came in 2016 when he stepped into the ring for his first fight, setting the stage for six subsequent bouts with aspirations to relocate to Thailand. Unfortunately, his sixth fight resulted in injuries that forced him into an early retirement, prioritizing safety. Despite setbacks, Braydon's thirst for knowledge prevailed. He resumed his training regimen at the earliest opportunity, reigniting his Muay Thai journey.
Seizing the opportunity, Braydon now leads Muay Thai classes for all age groups, showcasing his deep affection for the art that captured his heart. His teaching schedule spans from Monday to Saturday, embodying the enduring spirit of martial arts as he imparts his knowledge and passion to aspiring practitioners.
