From the reviews
Marquis is a top notch muay thai instructor. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable and experienced in all areas of muay thai, the workout itself is amazing. You will definitely shed calories and get in shape here. He is also very encouraging and supportive which is a huge plus for me. I like to get pushed to my max.
I had been looking for a local muay thai gym for so long and am so happy I found Gorilla Muay Thai. Marquise is an amazing coach, passionate about his students and elevating their martial arts game and overall fitness.

Your first muay thai class at Gorilla 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.
