From the reviews
My son started a year and a half ago and his confidence and self esteem has gone through the roof! Kru Rick and the team are supportive and always willing to help any student no matter your level. The experience is so welcoming that I joined shortly afterwards in an attempt to get in shape after a health scare.
Elk Grove Muy Thai Academy is amazing! My older son trained here for over a year to improve his strength and conditioning. He joined the Air Force this last summer and Coach Kru Rick helped guide and prepare him physically and mentally.
I love the environment and the instruction is top notch. Kru Rick takes pride in each and every student. I recommend this school to anyone who wants to learn to the most advanced Muay Thai fighter.
Trying something new! Enjoying classes. Hard, beneficial, exhilarating & above all mental health is balanced! Mat cleaned after each class, gloves sprayed after classes, wear a mask, temperature checked.
New to muay thai? Start at Elk Grove Muay Thai Academy
Elk Grove Muay Thai Academy 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 Elk Grove Muay Thai Academy
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.
