From the reviews
We have been going to this place for over 4 years and it's just getting more and more addictive - we have now 3 family members attending their classes 😊 and they truly enjoy it! I don't think places like this should be judged only by customer service - but more by the teaching style.
Have been training here for years. Can't ask for a better school. I bring 2 kids to class all year and they love it.
My daughter Nahla has been coming here for almost two years. When she first started we would do mitts at home and she did okay. However after a year or so of training, her punches were on point, and her form had dramatically improved.
Great culture of practicioners, classes available for different age groups in the family. Offered are complimentary styles of Kenpo, BJJ, Muay Thai, and lesser known but growing FMA. Dedicated knowledgeable instructors and advanced students, some of whom have utilized their skill sets in real-world application.
New to muay thai? Start at Bothell Martial Arts Academy
Bothell Martial Arts Academy 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 Bothell Martial Arts Academy
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.
