From the reviews
I love Maesh Striking Arts as a whole from the instructors to the students it's a all around positive growing and healthy environment for anyone serious about getting into shape or martial arts from Muay Thai, BJJ, boxing and or conditioning they have it here.
Yoko, Ivan, and all of the staff as well as the students are genuinely great people with whom I share many fond memories with. You won't regret taking any of their classes. As ALL of the people who train at Maesh are world renowned athletes. #champions
Great gym that teaches Muay Thai with some of the best instructors in the bay area.
My kiddos love Coach Alex! When my son was 3 1/2 we did the trial and since then we knew we would love the environment. My son ended up doing baseball but we tried again but this time with his younger sister and now they both really enjoy the Muay Thai class.
New to muay thai? Start at MAESH Striking Arts
MAESH Striking Arts 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 MAESH Striking Arts
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.
