From the reviews
Opened by the esteemed Michael Chase Corley, Heritage Muay Thai, is about as good as it's going to get. He and his team have produced multiple champions such as Bekah Irwin, Jacob Rodriguez and Olivier Jimenez to name just a few. The gym caters to all levels and Corley's system has been proven time and time again.
I cannot recommend Heritage Muay Thai highly enough! The facility is top-notch, providing ample space and equipment for a fulfilling training experience. The instructors are truly exceptional, demonstrating a deep understanding of the art and a genuine passion for teaching.
I can’t say enough good things about Heritage. I was instantly amazed by the way the way things were operating the second I walked in. No mistake though because it’s ran by Michael Corley. The instructors at Heritage Muay Thai are carefully selected and trained to provide high-quality instruction and it 100% shows.
I was very impressed with Heritage Muay Thai. The gym has a real Thailand vibe — multiple coaches and trainers actively working with students across the mats, creating an energetic and authentic atmosphere.
New to muay thai? Start at Heritage Muay Thai
Heritage Muay Thai comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. 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 Heritage 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.
