From the reviews

I am by no means an expert martial artist, however I have trained in several styles over the years and I can honestly say that the classes here are the most physically challenging and fun that I have ever experienced. There are 3 main instructors, each with a unique teaching style but all very effective.

★★★★★ — Sean, Apr 2021

Koh Mauy Thai is an excellent gym to learn and practice Thai Boxing. The instructors are experienced, knowledgeable, and patient. They supervise all aspects of training to ensure safety. Classes are fun and challenging. They can accommodate all levels of fitness.

★★★★★ — John, Dec 2020

Moved to New Port Richey recently and having trained Muay Thai for a few years prior, Koh has provided a great place to get authentic and challenging training that also serves as a great workout.

★★★★★ — Thomas, Mar 2023

Ben and Ronnie are the owners/instructors. This is NOT Richard Simmons fitness hour. This is Real fighters. For Men and Women. Real training. Defence. Drills. Knowledge. It's Just what I wanted.

New to muay thai? Start at Koh Muay Thai - New Port Richey

Koh Muay Thai - New Port Richey 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 Koh Muay Thai - New Port Richey

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.
