On April 13, 2024 Stout PGH will be hosting 16x National Muay Thai Champion, Triumphant Middleweight Champ & ONE Championship Featherweight Luke “The Chef” Lessei for a Striking Seminar at 1 pm in the Strip District.

Born and raised in the quaint Midwestern town of Dubuque, Iowa, Luke “The Chef” Lessei has emerged as a rising star in Muay Thai.

From a young age, martial arts was woven into the fabric of his life. Lessei’s formative years were spent at Dubuque Martial Arts Group — his father’s esteemed gym.

It was within the walls of his patriarch’s training facility that Lessei was introduced to “the art of eight limbs.” Quickly rising through the ranks, he became the gym’s most promising striker, showcasing a natural talent that set him apart from his peers.
