MUAY THAIÂ RETREAT
CHIANG MAI
NOVEMBER 15-22, 2026Â
Sharpen your Muay Thai in Chiang Mai with Jeff Chan & Coach Micah Brown
Â
This is a rare one. Seven days of intensive, small-group Muay Thai training in the sport's spiritual home — with two elite coaches who together bring more striking experience to that mat than you'll find at most gyms back home. Jeff and Micah will break down technique across every range, pinpoint exactly what's holding your game back, and give you the kind of personal coaching that's impossible to replicate in a regular gym setting.
WHAT IS A TRAINING RETREAT?
Â
Chiang Mai is the spiritual home of Muay Thai, a city where the art is lived, not just practiced. Training here isn't a vacation add-on. It's the real thing: authentic gyms, dedicated practitioners, and an atmosphere that makes you want to push harder every single session.
Train twice daily with Jeff Chan and Micah Brown — two elite Muay Thai coaches whose combined expertise covers every dimension of the art, from fundamental technique to advanced striking application — in intimate small-group sessions designed to identify weaknesses, fix bad habits, and unlock real technical growth. Outside the gym, Chiang Mai is yours to explore.
Perfect for martial artists looking to:
- Learn authentic Muay Thai in the sport's spiritual home
- Two 90-minute sessions daily with two elite coaches
- Focused, small-group environment with direct personal coaching
- Develop technique whether you're a beginner or a seasoned competitor
- Build lasting connections with Muay Thai practitioners around the world
- Explore one of Thailand's most vibrant cities with temples, street food, night markets, and more
This is more than a vacation—it's a week that will elevate your striking and broaden your perspective.

Quoc Bui, USA 🇺🇸
"The training camp was incredible. I've been to several training camps before, and this was definitely one of the best camps I've attended. It was well organized, all the drills were put together really seamlessly, and physically challenging. At 45 years old with all the other attendees, it was demanding but really rewarding."
