Meet the Team

Coach Daniel Chacon

Since 2007, Daniel has dedicated his life to Muay Thai as a competitor, coach, and mentor. A former world champion and Team USA coach, he has trained athletes of all levels—from complete beginners to world champions—while helping build a thriving martial arts community.

Daniel's own journey began after overcoming bullying and personal challenges as a teenager. Through Muay Thai and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, he discovered confidence, discipline, resilience, and purpose—values that continue to shape his coaching philosophy today.

Passionate about sharing the art of Muay Thai, Daniel is committed to helping every student reach their full potential.
