From the reviews
Casa Nami Muay Thai truly changed my life. When another gym turned me away, they took a chance on me. I have a condition called congenital elbow contracture, which limits how far my arm can extend, and I was worried I wouldn’t be able to train. But Coach Kevin believed in me from day one.
In the beginning of 2024 I was looking for a martial arts class that would cater to a super beginner like me. I came across CasaNami and reached out- Kevin was super welcoming and helpful when it came to trying out my first class. His classes are super easy to follow and very informative.
Casa Nami is the place to go for Muay Thai! From the moment you walk in, you can feel the energy, the community, and the genuine passion. The environment is welcoming to all levels—whether you’re completely new (like me) or have years of experience, you’ll find yourself supported, challenged, and constantly improving.
This is a different type of martial arts club than most. As of summer 2024 it runs at two locations, one at the Annandale Sports Center indoors and the other outdoors in Springfield when weather is nice. There's a big community/DIY vibe that reminds me of a friendly school club more than an uptight business.
New to muay thai? Start at Casa Nami Muay Thai
Casa Nami 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 Casa Nami 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.
