From the reviews
I just recently started training at 8 Venoms and it was the best decision I made! Kru Gian is an excellent instructor. He is incredibly knowledgeable, is ready to answer any question and takes the time with each student to ensure they feel comfortable, especially with the newer students.
The best experience in the world! The owner has an incredible heart and is one of the best teachers I have ever had for anything. I went to this gym not knowing much, but even after the first class I started to learn so much, and now after just a month I feel like a new man.
I’ve been coming to 8 Venoms for a little over a year, and I’m so grateful that I found this gym. This was my first experience with martial arts and I came in as complete beginner feeling pretty intimidated — but that feeling disappeared almost immediately because of the welcoming and supportive environment.
Coming to 8 Venom Muay Thai has become the highlight of my day! Not only am I learning the art of 8 limbs from a dedicated professional, but my mental health has also gotten much better because of it. Whether it's being stressed from work or school, this has become my happy place.
New to muay thai? Start at 8 Venoms Muay Thai
8 Venoms Muay Thai comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners program is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale the conditioning to you. Second, you won't be thrown into sparring — reputable gyms build fundamentals (stance, footwork, and the basic strikes of the "art of eight limbs") for weeks before any contact, and sparring stays optional. Third, all levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first muay thai class at 8 Venoms Muay Thai
Nervous about walking into a muay thai gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics on pads and bags — not fighting. Rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: shorts or athletic wear and a t-shirt; you'll train barefoot on the mats. What to bring: water and hand wraps if you have them — many gyms lend gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves, wraps, a mouthguard, and shin guards. Sparring is optional and comes later, once your fundamentals are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
