From the reviews
great coaches and by far the most technically sound gym in all of pierce county. 💯
It’s only been my third week, but since day one Drew and everyone at the gym have been extremely helpful and supportive. I’m a middle aged man that just gotten into boxing, and I’ve been really enjoying the instruction and tactics of the craft. Not to mention having the most fun I’ve ever had during a workout.
Amazing gym and amazing trainers. If you want to train, no matter what level you are at, this is definitely the place to go. I've been to so many different gyms in my life. This is by far the best place I've trained. The trainers couldn't be more nice and knowledgeable. Trevor and Drew are the best!
I've had the pleasure of training under both instructors since 2012, much if not most of my success in MMA and development of a man is credited to Trevor Jackson and Drew Brokenshire.
New to muay thai? Start at Ludusport Academy & Gym
Ludusport Academy & Gym 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 Ludusport Academy & Gym
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.
