Shawn Yarborough
Inspired after the passing of his mother, Flo, Shawn decided to start his own Muay Thai gym after 30 years of fighting, training, and coaching at the highest levels. Shawn has 100+ fights. Multiple titles, including being a former WBC champion, and most notably being the first American male to win the Kings Cup in Thailand. Shawn has coached and trained everyone from UFC champions to our most elite military men and women. But his real passion comes from teaching beginners and people who have never stepped into a martial arts gym before. Whether you’re a 4 year old, or 75 year old, Shawn understands the nerves that come with stepping into a gym for the first time. That's why FLŌ is a safe, supportive, and positive place for everyone, of ALL ages. Whether you want to just get into shape, learn self defense, try something new, or fight at the highest level. Shawn’s coaching skills will make it simple and effective, and have been proven. It doesn't matter if you're in shape or not, whether you've trained at a gym before or not, everyone is welcome!
Eliana Seymour
Meet one of our Youth Coaches, Eliana "Say Less" Seymour. Eliana is an Honors student at Kellam High School and the president of We Are VB, a club that helps underprivileged and homeless kids in the area. Eliana was first introduced to Muay Thai 7 years ago by Coach Shawn. Since her introduction to Muay Thai she has fought and competed around the world, including fighting and winning in the prestigious Lumpinee Stadium in Bangkok. Eliana holds an impressive junior resume—she's a 6-time WKA National and WKA Worlds Champion, WAKO National Champion, USA Muay Thai/IFMA Qualifier National Champion, and a 3-time WBC Worlds Champion. As much as she likes to train and compete, Eliana shares an equal passion and ability of teaching and coaching kids. Her role at FLŌ focuses on the the 4-9 year olds classes. Before starting martial arts Eliana was a shy and less confident girl. Eliana credits Muay Thai, and the positive results learned through training, in helping her become the confident, strong, and secure young woman she is today.
