Yacoubian Muay Thai Academy

When I joined Yacoubian Muay Thai four months ago, I wasn't sure what to expect. Shawn made it very easy, and was very helpful. All his staff and coaches are very helpful and give you a good workout/ training session. All the students are very friendly and make it very comfortable for everyone to learn and enjoy. I am learning so much and can't get enough. While they make it fun, they also take it very serious and push you to your limits. Thanks to them I am in the best shape I ever been, more confident in my self , and can apply a lot of the stuff I learn in here out in the real world . More...

It's a great gym for all levels of fitness. You can tell Sean truly cares about all of his students. I watched another class and that teacher seemed to really care too. The gym is clean and has all the equipment you need. I would definitely recommend people come here to work out! More...

Been to a handful of gyms the past few years looking for the right place to start training again and the most difficult was finding a gym where Muay Thai was targeted in mastering as well as offering a full range of classes where you can learn jiu jitsu, boxing, kick boxing and most importantly body conditioning to push you to your highest fitness level. Whether you're looking to build your technique in all aspects of fighting or just looking to get into great shape Yacoubian Muay Thai Academy  is the place to go!

This is a review for the kids kickboxing class:  My daughter has been interested in kickboxing ever since the 2nd grade. I kept putting it off thinking she was too young and that it was a phase she was going through, just to learn skills  to torment her brother with.  But after a few more years of her asking and with her in 5th grade I finally gave in and did some research on kickboxing studios in the valley. I feel very lucky that I went with my gut instinct to go with Shawn Yacoubian.  So, the guy really knows his stuff.  He competed professionally for many years and even has a few titles to show for it.  He is extremely knowledgeable and patient with the kids.  The classes are awesome, intensive but also a lot of fun.  The first time my daughter went I thought there was no way she'd stick with it but she ended up LOVING it.  She says Shawn keeps the classes interesting and he's teaching her a lot of useful skills that are fun to do. We already go twice a week but she wants me to take her more because she has a lot of fun with her kickboxing buddies and she's beginning to really see results in her body and mind.  Honestly, after going to these classes she's been a nicer person to be around at home and not so moody.  I wish I had enough confidence to send her to Shawn's Academy earlier because he has some pretty young kids in his classes now that are kicking butt.  But better late than never. And she hasn't used any of the skills on her brother. Thank goodness.I highly recommend to this place any parent.  And to get results you should really have your kid go twice a week. Once for the workout skills and one for the fundamentals.  It works. More...

My wife and I originally learned about Yacoubian when we won a membership at a silent auction.  Shawn did an excellent job with my five and eight year old kids.  They learned so much about the sport and life balance (at such a young age).  Thank you, Shawn, for being a role model for our kids.  We'll see you, again, this summer!!

I have trained with Shawn off and on for many years. Just recently started up with some private Muay Thai instruction. Been extremely happy with the progress we have made. Shawn's mastery of Muay Thai is a product of his many years of fighting professionally while being trained with some of the best! If you have taken Muay Thai in a classroom situation the privates will allow you to improve in key areas with his inside-the-ring knowledge. If you are looking to try something new, give the classes a whirl. They are fun and challenging and Shawn is extremely patient and explains everything thoroughly. Shawn is not only a great trainer but also a mench, just a good person doing great work helping others achieve greatness. What else could you ask for? Highly recommend. More...

I met Shawn when I was about 16 and loved his Muay Thai class, I've been training on and off with him since then and now I'm 21, i would not let anyone else train me, he goes in depth with his classes and you progress in your skills with the more time you spend with him . you learn so much and get a great work out, Also he's a really nice guy and is willing to train anyone who is willing to work hard!

Been working with Shawn for over 3 years now and I find with each class I improve. He has patience and understanding for beginners and women, which is a talent in its own!  Each exercise is broken down to be able to understand its components.  A great cardio and mental workout for sure!  Highly recommended! !!!
