From the reviews
I've trained at Aldama's gym for close to a year now, the place is amazing the staff is super friendly and helpful. Not gonna lie, I had never trained Muai Thai before and was a little "scared" of how it would be as a new guy, but the STAFF and the ppl that train there are very cool, down to earth.
I’ve been to multiple gyms here in San Diego, and Aldama Muay Thai is is by far the best I’ve been to. Coach Robert teaches real authentic Muay Thai, and the gym holds many national champions and youth world champions.
Under the tutelage of coach Robert, our son was able to earn two national titles and one bronze medal from a world competition in less than two years. Aldama Muay Thai gym offers personalized coaching styles, Builds confidence, resilience and strong work ethic.
Amazing overall experience here, Coach trains every individual student to reach their maximum limit. The quality of the training is unmatched since if there is something we struggle on, we can go 1-1 with the coach or a more experienced fighter for help, I would 100% recommend this place to anyone who is interested I…
New to muay thai? Start at Aldama Muay Thai
Aldama 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 Aldama 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 when you call. 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.
