Jimmy San

Growing up, Jimmy was never really a team sports type of guy. He dabbled on and off in martial arts as a kid and got into Muay Thai in 2011 at Five Points, mostly because it was a few blocks away from where he worked. While he never considered himself overly coordinated or athletic, he was attracted to the focus on body mechanics and movements associated with Muay Thai and that there are always things to improve and fine-tune. Jimmy competed for about three years as an amateur fighter and started coaching in 2018, initially teaching clinch classes. He focuses on making every strike cleaner, sharper, and more efficient and loves breaking down techniques into their simplest forms. Watching students adapt, adjust, and make corrections gives Jimmy the most satisfaction, that and a good body shot. Jimmy jokes that he is a Nak Muay for life and doesn’t do anything besides Muay Thai. Really, outside the gym, he is a creative professionally and personally.
