What she is doing with Muay Thai Combat in Italy, Rep. of San Marino and Europe is incredible, she single handedly created an impressive net of retailers. In addition, her working with our team here in Thailand on a daily basis will surely seal YOKKAO as the most powerful Muay Thai brand in the world." Stefania Picelli states: "I am very honoured to accept this position and to have the possibility of working in Thailand, the motherland of Muay Thai and the land of my family's origins. I will be in charge of completing the new factory along with developing projects, one of them is to create a place of inspiration, of life and work where all Muay Thai practitioners can train, fight and live their wonderful experience in Thailand together with YOKKAO.
I enjoyed a fantastic experience with Muay Thai Combat in the Republic of San Marino and I would like to thank all the people who supported me during those years of work. My organization and well structured staff is now well prepared to continue the work of Muay Thai Combat while respecting the key points that we have built on over the years: expertise, professionalism and passion for Muay Thai. My supervision from abroad will always remain present." More info about the opening of the new YOKKAO Factory releasing soon!
