From the reviews
I have been a member of this gym family for many years and can't say enough good things about Coach Joe Alexander. Students are show real-world techniques in a way that makes complete sense to each of us.
Joe is a great coach, he really cares about his students. The gym is clean and welcoming. It’s a great place to train.
Great, loving people! Coach Joe Alexander is great with kids (mainly because he's a big kid 😁) Joe and Wendy's motivations are pure, in that they truly desire people, especially women and children, to be safe; to equip them with the tools necessary to defend themselves against someone trying to do them harm.
The best academy around. Best coach to have as a teacher. My 7 year old daughter has been in the classes for almost a year and the knowledge and confidence she has acquired is amazing. I have been in class for a few months. Not just a team we are a family.
Your first muay thai class at Alexander Academy
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.
