Paul is a vital part of our coaching team and has supported Kao Loi for over 20 years.  He has trained in Muay Thai almost since we started the club at Crimple Valley in Harrogate.  After perfecting his technique he began working through our grading syllabus.  10th Khan is the equivalent to a black belt, and after a lot of hard work Paul was qualified to 11th Khan Assistant Trainer level by Grand Master Kevin Lloyd from the English Muay Thai Federation.

He has also completed our in house coaching qualifications, Sports Coach UK Safeguarding Children course, DBS check, and the Muay Thai Judge and Referees course.

Paul helps teach our juniors as well as working with adults at all levels.  He is also part of our athlete corner team at competitions.

Working from home meant we could vary snack and coffee breaks, change our desks or view, goof off, drink on the job, even spend the day in pajamas
