From the reviews
I did Tae Kwon Do for two years in high school. I decided to try Muay Thai in December 2022. I don’t do Jiu Jitsu. I’m glad I came. The head coach, Don, adapts training to my needs. The assistant coaches take after him. The gym atmosphere is positive. Most coaches and students are men, but there are some women.
I was in town visiting in-laws for the week and was itching to get a workout in after being on the road. I called in to ensure that they allowed drop ins and if they had a Muay Thai Class that night and I was in luck.
I loved the Bang Muay Thai training system and working with Coach Don. We had a great mix of total beginners, intermediates, and highly experienced martial artists in every class, and the course curriculum worked well for each person's skills and level of experience.
I’ve been taking classes for about six months at Bang. The experience was more than expected, I’ve learn about the sport of Muay Thai, practical defense with real world applications. At 39 years old it was intimidating to try something new, but the staff and students are always very supportive.
New to muay thai? Start at Dragon Leg Muay Thai Kickboxing Novi
Dragon Leg Muay Thai Kickboxing Novi 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 Dragon Leg Muay Thai Kickboxing Novi
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.
