From the reviews

If you're ever in Charleston and looking for the real deal, Charleston Muay Thai and Boxing is it. I dropped in for a Saturday Muay Thai class, and I was absolutely blown away.

★★★★★ — Toby, Jun 2025

I was so impressed with this gym the moment I walked in ! Everyone was super friendly and welcoming , members of all shapes and sizes all training together! The coaches are very knowledgable and detailed in teaching the art of Muay Thai and boxing!

★★★★★ — Brendan, Apr 2019

I spent a year here getting in great shape while picking up a rock-solid foundation in Muay Thai and Boxing. Coach Jeff Grady is a wealth of knowledge, and his firsthand experience from decades of training and competing in Thailand really shows in his teaching.

★★★★★ — Orlandi, Jul 2026

I did a drop in class while working in the area. Jeff was great, reaching out to me before arriving inorder to give me an idea of how the classes are ran. The class itself was excellent. Lots of technique and a great workout. Its pretty clear how passionate Jeff is about the sport and helping others.

New to muay thai? Start at Charleston Muay Thai and Boxing

Charleston Muay Thai and Boxing 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 Charleston Muay Thai and Boxing

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.

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.
