From the reviews
I have been training with Coach Guimma for two years now and it’s become a totally integral part of my week. I started from 0 and have been absolutely amazed by my progress. He’s incredibly patient, breaks everything down into easily digestible segments, and never hesitates to challenge you.
Working one-on-one with coach Guymma has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for my training. He takes the time to understand my goals and builds every session around helping me reach them. His attention to detail is incredible.
I have been working with Guimma privately for 3 straight years, several times a week. Before him I was training Muay thai for another 7 years. Having worked with many coaches in this sport, I can say easily he is the best.
I’ve trained with Guimma for over a year both in a classroom setting and private lessons and he is the best in the biz! He has a ton of experience, has trained in multiple countries with top tier professional fighters and brings his knowledge and love of the sport to any level that you are now and wish to go in the…
New to muay thai? Start at Coach Guimma Muay Thai MMA
Coach Guimma Muay Thai MMA 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 Coach Guimma Muay Thai MMA
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.
