From the reviews

I have had a great time training with Kru Xena. I am new to Muay Thai and she has helped me progress quickly in the style. Her training is very traditional, thorough, and intense while also helping me build my fight IQ and knowledge of the style

★★★★★ — Jonah, Jan 2025

Only place to learn authentic Muay Thai in the area. Derrick and Xena provide a wealth of knowledge and experience. Their attention to detail and dedication to your training will allow you to fast track your experience. In just a few months of training with them, my fighting skill has increased dramatically.

★★★★★ — Carlos, May 2025

So, finding a Muay Thai coach in general seems not the easiest task around these parts. Finding one who is very skilled at the sport but also great at teaching and communicating in general and in addition is passionate about the sport - now that’s something else.

★★★★★ — Absalom, Mar 2026

Up and coming gym for people who are dead serious about the art of Muy Thai. Best prices around and real experience coming straight out of Thailand, Kru Xena is absolutely the best!

Your first muay thai class at Carabao Muay Thai, LLC

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.
