From the reviews
Great place to learn from scratch. I have almost no experience in Muay Thai and I have been learning a lot here. I like the intensity of the training, the progress I make on my technique and the flexibility to attend classes during the week. I 100% recommend this place.
Maverick Muay Thai is a great place to train. Bryan is very knowledgeable and I always get a good workout in. There's a good mix of fundamentals, advanced, and sparring depending on what you're looking for.
Best fight gym I have been a part of! Everybody takes care of each other in training and gets along like it’s a family!
Everyone is so friendly and perfect for whether you’re trying to get a fight or just want to do some cardio!
New to muay thai? Start at Maverick Muay Thai
Maverick 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 Maverick 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. 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.
