From the reviews
My daughter is 17 and has been training for more than 5 years. While traveling to SF, we reached out for a training session. The work with Ruben was productive and he did a great job coaching my daughter. I would recommend learning a new skill but from a solid teacher and, Ruben would be the teacher I would recommend.
Stepping into BANG Muay Thai feels like entering where the spirit of Muay Thai thrives. From the moment you set foot inside their space, the air crackles with energy, dedication, and a profound sense of camaraderie. I can confidently say that BANG stands out as an exemplar of excellence.
I came to this gym to try something new. I can confidently say I’ve found a new hobby and workout that’s fun and challenging. Coach Ruben and his wife Jennifer are warm and welcoming into their space. They’ve created a safe environment where all walks of life can feel comfortable to be themselves.
Bang Santa Fe is my favorite place to train Muay Thai in Northern NM! Coach Ruben is methodical, skilled with a broad martial arts background, and really friendly.
New to muay thai? Start at Bang Muay Thai Santa Fe
Bang Muay Thai Santa Fe 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 Bang Muay Thai Santa Fe
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.
