Long post: I’m a believer. Nothing on this planet will get you into shape the way martial arts does. Several months ago I joined a legitimate, official, competitive Muay Thai gym with a legitimate, highly-trained instructor and legitimate, passionate, competitive fighters.

Since I’ve been going and training my life has changed for the better! I feel amazing just living my normal life, I’m healthier, more disciplined, and just overall happier. Plus whenever you join and start coming it becomes a second home. Everyone becomes great friends.

LKA has helped me very much in life, learning discipline and what it takes to be a great fighter. The instructor is very welcoming and will make anybody a good fighter if you stay consistent and put in hard work. You will make new friends that will help you strive for greatness.

Your first muay thai class at Lee Kickboxing 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.

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.
