From the reviews
After lots of research we decided on CSC RVA which has been certified by the World Kickboxing Association for our 13 year old son to try something different to the Tae Kwon Do he had been studying to black belt.
Great instructors and great people. Great for women, ladies don't be afraid to try it out. Regardless of age you're made to feel welcome. Challenging but not overwhelming. I absolutely love it here and can't wait to get back in. My husband and I do the Muay Thai and Dutch classes.
Started training Muay Thai at CSC several months ago and they have definitely pushed my technique and endurance to a new level. Great instructors. Welcoming to all ages and skill levels. Would highly recommend.

New to muay thai? Start at CSC RVA
CSC RVA comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 CSC RVA
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.
