From the reviews

Coach David is motivating and has a genuine love for the Art of Muay Thai. In the span of a few weeks, my physical health has highly improved. At age 50, I'm having a blast trying to keep up with the young adults in their 20's and 30's. The experience is life changing for me!

★★★★★ — El, Dec 2019

This place is awesome plain and simple. Located in the heart of east LA this gym just has a great vibe when you step inside. David is rare breed, he has a passion for Muay Thai and is just an all around good dude.

★★★★★ — Carlos, Sep 2017

I have been training Muay Thai for 10+years yet every time I leave the gym I learn something new. Coach David is very knowledgeable and a lot of the members are either former or current fighters so it keeps me on my toes. Signed up for a year 😊🙏. If your near L.

New to muay thai? Start at Los Angeles Muay Thai

Los Angeles Muay Thai comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Los Angeles 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.

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.
