From the reviews
I came in for a 1 on 1 personal session and will attend the group sessions from now on. Coach Anthony is fantastic. He's fun to learn from, supportive, and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend checking this gym out - you'll have a good time, learn and get a great workout!
Took my son and daughter to try out during spring break and they love it! Signed them up already! Even bought a punching bag for them to practice at home! Kids should learn self defense these days!!! Great workout for young kids! Gain muscles and Self confidence’s.
Garden Grove Muay Thai is an outstanding place to learn and grow. Even as the students are constantly learning so are the coaches, which enables them to bring correct and effective practices to the table.
Man, so many great coaches, active fighters, and students. All ages! My 13 year old son trains with me there. Everyone should learn how to defend themselves and their families. Nothing but love and respect there. Everyone helps each other.
New to muay thai? Start at Garden Grove Muay Thai
Garden Grove Muay Thai comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Garden Grove Muay Thai
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.
