From the reviews

My daughter Emery recently started training at Crazy 88, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the experience so far! From day one, Coach Mahoney and Coach TJ have been incredibly supportive, patient, and motivating.

★★★★★ — Clement, Jul 2025

We switched over to Crazy 88 after training at another gym. My kids were unsure of Crazy 88, as it was new coaches, kids, location, etc. I cannot thanks Crazy 88 enough for the support they showed all of us when we joined, and continuing after. They make learning fun with a meaningful structure and focus.

★★★★★ — Beth, Mar 2024

Crazy 88 has made such a huge impact on my life in the past few years. I first started here at the Owings Mills location but as I began to train more consistently and seriously, I now go back and forth between here and the Elkridge location. Everyone has been so supportive and the atmosphere is great.

★★★★★ — Leah, Jan 2017

I have been attending Crazy 88 for almost 4 years, and have enjoyed my time training with all coaches at both Owings Mills and Elkridge. Through hard and encouragement I have been able to push my limits further than I thought I would personally go, from simply training for fun and exercise to pushing myself to join…

New to muay thai? Start at Crazy 88 Mixed Martial Arts

Crazy 88 Mixed Martial Arts 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 Crazy 88 Mixed Martial Arts

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.
