Jaimii-Lee Duchatenier

Jaimii has been practicing Muay Thai since 2018, first in her native Australia and now in New York City. She is one of Five Points Academy’s newest coaching additions and enjoys helping beginners get into Muay Thai. She has been competing since 2019 and feels some of the best parts of Muay Thai are learning new techniques, getting into a flow with your partner, and that moment when you successfully land something for the first time. Jaimii brings a sense of enjoyment to her training sessions and loves that post-training buzz after a good workout. That feeling is evident in her classes, where you can sense the fun everyone is having while working hard and getting sweaty. She particularly loves working with other women, supporting and helping them feel more confident joining in and not feeling intimidated in a traditionally male-dominated space. Jamii is also a geriatric social worker, helping address the specific challenges, well-being, and various needs of her patients.
