From the reviews
My 11-year old son has had two sessions with their Rising Stars Level 1 class. My son decided after his 1st session that he wanted to join Valor. The coaching team made him feel welcome and comfortable. They made him feel like a part of the team. They were all nice and attentive.
New to the area, we needed a Muay Thai gym to continue our training. With myself, and two of my kids (ages 12 and 10) all active in the culture, it was great to find one location that had expertise in teaching both kids and adults.
Trained here for a year. Great regimen for both entry-level and experienced fighters. Matts and equipment are in good shape. You can tell the coaches (Ash & Patrick) are passionate about what they do by the attention they pay to their students form/progress. Would recommend. P.
My 5 year old son loves going to Valor! He’s been attending since October of 2020 and already has grown so much. Staff is amazing! Quick, responsive, and attentive. The coaches are knowledgeable and extremely patient, especially with the kids.
New to muay thai? Start at Blue Lion Muay Thai
Blue Lion 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 Blue Lion 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 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.
