From the reviews
Wow! What an amazing place, with so much great energy! The vibe is positive and strong, love the personalities! If you're ready this is the place to be! The fight is in you, let's go!
Embellish Kickboxing is hands down one of the best investments we make and our son makes in himself! He has been attending for about a year and has grown so much in this time! The coaches are fantastic and hold themselves and kids to a high standard that they help them meet!
Embellish Kickboxing Academy has been such a blessing for my child! The coaches are not only highly skilled and professional, but also incredibly patient, kind, and encouraging. They make sure every student feels supported, motivated, and safe while learning.
My son started at Embellish kickboxing Academy when he was just 3 and 1/2 years old, he started very playful and had a hard time focusing because he is more on playing around and now he is 4 and 5 months we couldn’t be happier with his progress!
New to muay thai? Start at Embellish Kickboxing Academy
Embellish Kickboxing 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 Embellish Kickboxing 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.
