★★★★★ — Rome, Jun 2024

Came up with some of my team from Texas to train at KP Muay Thai. We had an excellent time!! World class training with a thai champion. Kronphet has over 150 fights and tons of experience. On top of all that, he is extremely kind, patient and respectful with students of all levels. Great family environment!

★★★★★ — Randy, Aug 2024

I spent months looking for a good Muay Thai gym and I’m thankful I found this place. KP is a wonderful teacher and the students are super encouraging. I recommend anyone that lives or visits KC and looking for a Muay Thai to visit KP Muay Thai

★★★★★ — Dj, Nov 2024

I was about 9 or so months into my journey when i first met Krophet, and after having taken more than a few lessons from him, I can confidently say that he can take your training to the next level.

New to muay thai? Start at KP Muay Thai and Boxing

KP Muay Thai and Boxing 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 KP Muay Thai and Boxing

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.
