From the reviews

I’ve really have enjoyed my time here over the last year and a half and hope to be here for life. All of the instructors are top notch and you really learn a variety of techniques, not only in your primary martial art.

★★★★★ — Roy, Apr 2021

I have been training with Sifu Francis since 2015 and never seen a martial art instructor so hands on like him. First of all, his skills levels are out of this world. It is so amazing what he can do and the knowledge he shares in every single class. Great diversity among all the students that is very enriching.

★★★★★ — Israel, Mar 2017

Probably the best decision I've ever made was joining this academy. The staff are fun and incredibly knowledgeable in their fields of expertise. They are friendly, and they help to create an engaging study environment.

★★★★★ — Ian, Jan 2016

Sifu Francis Fong is a Jedi-master. He is one of those martial arts teachers that simply leave you astonished when you see him in action. When I was a younger man, training at the Academy helped me in so many different ways. Now that I am older, it continues to be nothing but a great experience.

Your first muay thai class at Francis Fong Martial Arts 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.
