From the reviews
Master Cat & Liz are amazing! My husband and i extremely enjoy their weekly classes and private lessons during the weekend. We try our best to make it to their weekly classes but since we commute from Clarksville, Cat & Liz were willing to do some weekend classes for us.
The instructors are incredible, both in terms of their martial arts skills, their ability to teach, and their holistic loving view on life. I've been practicing Jeet Kune Do and Filipino Martial Arts there for about half a year and it has been a challenging but very positive experience.
Their tae kwon do classes have been extremely helpful for our son to be more disciplined and focused. The instructors are great at demanding respect while making it fun.
We're relatively new to KSA, but my daughter and I are already huge fans. The instructors are thoughtful and patient, excellent at explaining the "why" behind what you're learning. It's an incredibly positive place that's dedicated to empowerment in all its forms.
Your first muay thai class at KSA Martial Academy
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.
