Great Training!!! Great Coaches!! Great Gym!!! Great atmosphere!!! My son loves it!!! #TRAININGWITHCHAMPIONS
My 3 kids had the blessing to find this gym a year ago, coaches are kind, respectful, supportive and most of all, they are mentors! The gym splits in 2, “red area” striking and “black area” bjj, every time I saw the doggies they are on the striking area, and truly as a dog lover I’ve never ever seen these furry…
It stared from the phone call. I call in to inquire about prices and classes offered and I had the pleasure of speaking with Melissa (she was soooooooo warm welcoming and funny). My first day was yesterday and all I can say Is I cannot wait to go back.

We both love come here it is the highlight of our week. You get a great work out and so much knowledge I can not recommend AMT enough.
New to muay thai? Start at American Muay Thai & American Boxing Academy
American Muay Thai & American Boxing Academy comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. 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 American Muay Thai & American Boxing 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.
