★★★★★ — Smog, Jun 2024

Well where do I start. Ive been attending this Academy for about 5 months give or take. In a somewhat cliche scenario I came in when I felt life was overwhelming me from every angle. Weight gain was becoming a serious health concern confidence was low and every obstacle was feeling like an impossible task.

★★★★★ — Anthony, Nov 2024

Headbangers Kickboxing Academy has a very welcoming environment, and the classes are a lot of fun! I would recommend this gym to anyone who wants to improve their martial arts, learn self defense, or just stay in shape!

Your first muay thai class at HEADBANGERS KICKBOXING ACADEMY LLC

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.
