From the reviews

I highly recommend the workout classes that Tim Lamay offers at the Dryden Community Center. This not a typical dojo or gym, Tim uses the techniques of boxers and martial artists with a non contact exercise program. The atmosphere is safe, non-judgmental. Tim welcomes people of all ages.

★★★★★ — John, Jul 2026

The Instructors are skilled and knowledgeable! An excellent opportunity to learn Jeet Kune Do, Kali/Silat, Muay Thai and Boxing in the Dryden/ Cortland area. I highly encourage people to train with Sifu Lamey.

Your first muay thai class at Black Mongoose Martial Arts

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.

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.
