From the reviews

Male, 20: I had never done anything like this before. I've been going the last four months. Over that time I've learned all the fundamentals from proper punches, elbows, knees, kicks, head movement and clinch (stand up grappling). You can even take private lessons. The classes are no joke and the coaches are certified.

★★★★★ — Zion, Sep 2020

This gym is the best one I've ever found!! I live about an hour from the gym and I can tell you, it's worth the drive every day. The coaches are fantastic, the environment is amazing and very friendly whether you're a beginner or an advanced student.

★★★★★ — Sierra, Sep 2020

Coach Bryan is the best Muay Thai coach you could ask for! He doesn’t just teach Muay Thai, he lives it and pours his heart into every student. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced, he has a way of making you feel seen, supported, and pushed to be your absolute best.

★★★★★ — Andrew, Sep 2025

New to muay thai? Start at Low Kick Camp

Low Kick Camp 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 Low Kick Camp

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.
