View pricingMore than a session
You get much more than an hour of my time.
Booking a lesson with Jorakay isn't renting a coach for sixty minutes. It's joining a program that keeps working for you all week, long after the pads come off.
Built entirely around you
No two students get the same session. Every class is tailored to your body, your experience, and the goals you actually care about — whether that's confidence, fitness, self-defense, or the ring.
Work that follows you home
You leave every session with focused at-home drills and clear notes, so you keep sharpening technique between lessons instead of starting over each time we meet.
Your pace, a proven path
Your growth flows on your own timeline, guided by a personal program I write for you — accredited by Grand Master Toddy and the Muay Thai International Association.

About Jorakay
Traditional technique. Encouraging coaching.
Jorakay Muay Thai Academy grows from more than two decades of training, competition, and coaching. Jorden also holds a bachelor's degree in psychology, helping students manage the mental side of learning and performance.
After traveling to Thailand in 2015, he moved to Bangkok in 2017 to train and fight under Grand Master Toddy. He went undefeated in professional bouts and became a specialist in knees and clinch work.
Today, students across Manatee, Sarasota, and Pinellas County can build real skills through supportive private and group training.

Fighting experience
Fought in Thailand.
With over 20 years dedicated to the sport, my expertise is rooted in the authentic traditions of Thailand, where I lived and competed professionally. Throughout my professional fighting career in Bangkok, I went undefeated, securing every victory through clinical clinch work and knee strikes. Even today, I continue to test my skills and compete in the ring whenever I travel back to Thailand.
I translate this ongoing high-level experience into the Jorakay Muay Thai style, teaching my students how to master the same pressure, leverage, and precision that defines my own success as a fighter.
Teaching experience
A decade of instruction.
I have spent the last 10 years refining my approach to instruction, developing a comprehensive 10-level curriculum designed to take students systematically from their first day to an advanced level. This program is officially accredited by the Muay Thai International Association (MTIA) and recognized by the Thailand government, ensuring that every student receives training that meets the highest international standards.
By combining a decade of teaching experience with this structured, proven system, I provide my students with a clear and professional roadmap to mastering Muay Thai.
Cornering experience
100+ fights cornered.
My competitive coaching experience spans over 100 fights, where I have cornered athletes across Muay Thai, kickboxing, and MMA. This range of experience extends from local exhibitions and national tournaments to the world's most prestigious stage, Rajadamnern Stadium in Bangkok.
Whether preparing a student for their first smoker or guiding a seasoned fighter through a high-stakes professional bout, I bring the tactical insights and corner-work expertise necessary to perform at the highest levels of combat sports.

To ensure authenticity, all certificates are personally signed by Grand Master Toddy and cataloged in the association's central records in Bangkok, providing a clear and legitimate roadmap for practitioners to master the sport.
Training lineage
Grand Master Toddy
