1-on-1 Muay Thai Coaching

1-on-1 Muay Thai Coaching Built Around You.

Focused coaching that identifies what’s holding your technique back, explains why it’s happening, and helps you improve step by step.

Beginners and experienced martial artists welcome.

The gap

You’re putting the rounds in.
So why does it still feel stuck?

Sometimes you don’t need more training. You need to know what to work on.

  • A technique that works one day and disappears the next
  • A habit you can feel but can’t quite name
  • Corrections that never stick once class moves on
  • No clear idea of what to focus on next

More rounds don’t automatically solve it. The difference is someone watching closely enough to notice what you can’t see yourself — then explaining it in a way that actually makes sense.

What gets clearer

Coaching built around your Muay Thai.

  • 01

    Your Movement

    Look closely at your balance, timing and the way you move — starting with what Matt sees in your training.

  • 02

    Your Technique

    Break down the details behind a technique and work on corrections you can feel and repeat.

  • 03

    Your Questions

    Make space for the questions that get lost in a group class, with explanations that make sense to you.

  • 04

    Your Goals

    Give your training a specific focus, built around where you are and what you want to work on.

Your entry point

You don’t have to start from the same place.

How a session works

Watch closely.
Explain clearly.
Change what matters.

  1. 01

    Diagnose

    See what is actually happening rather than guessing what the problem is.

  2. 02

    Explain

    Understand why the movement, habit, timing or limitation is happening.

  3. 03

    Correct

    Break the issue into something you can feel, practice and repeat.

  4. 04

    Progress

    Leave with a clearer understanding and something specific to work on.

Training is where the conversation becomes physical.

Watch. Question. Adjust. Try again.

The world

Muay Thai Is Bigger Than One Gym.

Different rooms, coaches, fighters and cultures change the way you see the art. Koifish Prophet is built around staying curious — learning from different places and bringing those lessons back into the work.

Koifish Prophet

The Person Behind Koifish Prophet.

Martial artist. Coach. Student of the art.

Matt’s approach to Muay Thai is driven by curiosity as much as repetition — looking closely at how people move, why techniques work, how different coaches teach, and what changes when the same art is experienced through different people and places.

“The point isn’t to know everything. It’s to keep seeing more.”
