From the reviews

I have been training with Kru Adrian and Coach Vic for months and I love it here! They are great people to be around and it's a great environment. I definitely recommend for you to come and train with them and take their classes! You will learn and be able to achieve many things in a short amount of time.

★★★★★ — Joseph, Mar 2022

There was something very particular that caught my attention when I drove through this business. There was a sign outside that said authentic Muay Thai, so I had to check it out. Having been to Thailand, I got to experience how culturally and historically rich this sport is.

★★★★★ — Bryan, Sep 2023

American Vintage Society is a great place to train, grow, and learn Muay Thai. They also offer BJJ and Judo but I’ve only trained Muay Thai. When I moved to Buda, I was looking for a kickboxing gym to continue my training but didn’t want to drive to Austin so I decided to give AVS & Muay Thai a shot...

★★★★★ — Katie, Sep 2025

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ American Vintage Society in Buda, Texas is an absolute gem for anyone looking to delve into the world of Muay Thai. From the moment I walked through the doors, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism.

New to muay thai? Start at American Vintage Society

American Vintage Society 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 American Vintage Society

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.

Muay thai is a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
