From the reviews
My 13 year old daughter has been going to Carrillo Muay Thai for the past 6 months and her self confidence has increased so much. From dance and tutus to kickboxing and bruises. She decided to leave her dance shoes behind and dedicate full time to Muay Thai kickboxing.
Great gym to train Muay Thai! The classes are fun and Coach Jean really focus on technique and fundamentals. There is a strong sense of respect between everyone, even as a beginner. I feel safe yet challenged during sparring, which is what you want. The gym is clean and tidy and not gross like other gyms lol.
I feel very fortunate to have found Carillo Muay Thai. The coaches are friendly, approachable, and extremely knowledgeable. I learn something new in every class. When I first started, I was concerned because I wasn't in great shape and had no prior combat experience.
Just discovered this treasure, After watching some YouTube videos, exploring their website, and studying other local gyms, I decided to make this place my 10 year old’s gym. My drive is about 30/35 min and well worth the gas.
New to muay thai? Start at Carrillo Muay Thai - Thai Boxing - Kick Boxing City of Orange, Santa Ana. Orange County
Carrillo Muay Thai - Thai Boxing - Kick Boxing City of Orange, Santa Ana. Orange County 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 Carrillo Muay Thai - Thai Boxing - Kick Boxing City of Orange, Santa Ana. Orange County
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.
