From the reviews
Hands Down #1 Muay Thai Gym in DFW. I've been training martial arts for almost a decade and here for almost 2 years. Great gym with family ties to Thailand, with group trips there to match. This is a very "Don't judge a book by it's cover gym". These guys are family and will push you to be your to your best self. A1 👏🏻
Coach Mikey is hands down one of the best Muay Thai coaches I’ve trained under. His level of experience shows in every session, not just in his technique, but in how he teaches. He doesn’t just demonstrate moves; he breaks down the why behind them, making complex concepts simple and digestible no matter your level.
Went to their all-girls Valentine’s Day event was very easy to follow and very fun. Pong broke down each move clearly, taking the time to demonstrate the punches, kicks, and footwork step-by-step.
I dropped in from out of town to Tam’s class and really enjoyed the work! His class was fast-paced and moved from combos to conditioning technique drills rapidly. Even though I was a drop in, Tam took time to correct details in my form and to push me when I was half-assing my kicks during our last drill.
New to muay thai? Start at Janjira Muay Thai
Janjira 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 Janjira 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.
