From the reviews
Joining and learning from Chonburi Muay Thai has been by far one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Came in as a beginner a year ago and the coaches have pushed me to my limits. And best part is we all have fun while training.
I will be forever grateful for all that Chonburi Muay Thai has given me and continues to give me. At 37 years old, I knew I needed to be more active to maintain mobility and health in the decades to come, but I would always get bored with running or weightlifting.
Great gym focusing only on Muay Thai with a welcoming and encouraging group of coaches. The founder has trained almost his whole life and learned from renowned Thai coaches and fighters.
Joining Chonburi Muay Thai is one of the best things I have ever done. I’ve grown as a person and a fighter over the last three years. There’s beginners class to advanced fighter’s class, as well as heavy bag HIT class and sparring.
New to muay thai? Start at Chonburi Muay Thai
Chonburi 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 Chonburi 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.
