Phoenix Kyaw

Instructor

Phoenix's journey with Arakan began at the age of two, guided by his father, Chief Instructor Robert Kyaw. With over 16 years of consistent training, Arakan has taught Phoenix invaluable skills beyond self-defence, such as respect, discipline, and motivation.?Aside from developing awareness, de-escalation skills, and combat proficiency, Arakan has taught Phoenix foundational life principles, which he now carries with him every day. Despite outstanding academic achievements and numerous high-level universities offers, Phoenix chose to pursue his true passion of teaching Arakan after graduating from high school in 2023.

Phoenix spends his free time participating in physical activities, drawing on his experience as an elite swimmer and runner to enjoy extreme sports such as mountain biking. He is committed to self-improvement and spends time in the gym and outdoors, honing his physical and mental abilities.
