From the reviews

I've been with Kru Extreme for over six years now, and know his story well. He has an intense passion for the martial arts, and expects dedication from his students. I haven't seen another Muay Thai camp as well versed and attentive to detail as ours.

Extreme is a great family place! My son has been there for almost 2 years and loves it. I just started training with Kru and couldn't be happier. If your looking for a fun loving atmosphere with an intense/self defense work out, look no where else!

Your first muay thai class at Extreme Lacosta 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.

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.
