What members say
“Matt is an incredible coach, which is further supplemented by the fact that he is also a teacher full-time.”
“Not to mention that I have probably 60 pounds on him and I would still say that the only way I could win a fight against him is if I managed to get lucky and land a heavy hit.”
From the reviews
Coach Matt is well versed in the sport of Muay Thai. He has been training for many years and it shows. He is really good at being able to break things down to their base level for you to grasp and understand, considering he is a teacher by day it makes sense that he can instruct so well.
Matt is an incredible coach, which is further supplemented by the fact that he is also a teacher full-time. During our first session together, Matt took the time to learn about my fiancée and I to better understand what our goals are for learning Muay Thai, and tailored the training to best meet those goals.
I recently had the opportunity to do an intro one-on-one session with Matt out of his home gym. Right from the get-go I could tell it was going to be a great experience. Matt is passionate, energetic, knowledgeable, and personable. His expertise in Muay Thai and combat arts is apparent.
I highly recommend this gym! Matt's teaching approach is both unique and effective, blending dynamic, fun, and interactive lessons with his extensive experience. He has a keen ability to read your mechanics and adapt his teaching to match your skill level, which really accelerates the learning process.
New to muay thai? Start at Berryville Muay Thai
Berryville Muay Thai 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 Berryville 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. 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.
