QUESTION: O, sorry about that i am in Sammamish washinton, Isiquah district
Answer Chase,
Perhaps my friend Ken Koenig at Tiger Mountain Woodcrafts can help you.
He is a member of the Thai Boxing Association but I'm not sure of he himself actually teaches.
How far is the Issaquah district from Seattle? I have two associates in the Seattle area:
1. Andy Wilson at MKG Seattle
2. Chris Clarke at Northwest Martial Arts
Cliff Lenderman also has a school in the Seattle area but I'm not sure if he has an actual Muay Thai program.
You can easily find any of them by doing an Internet search for their names.
If you have any problems send me another message or call my school at 305 595-2892.
Regards,
Dwight Woods
