From the reviews
I was visiting the area from out of town had the opportunity to drop in to a few classes at Mazu. Cole, the owner and head coach, does a great job of structuring classes, teaching solid skills, and creating a fun learning environment. He is hands on with students and gives honest but encouraging feedback.
Mazu Muay Thai is a great place to go no matter what your skill level is. Cole will take the time to work with you until you understand and feel comfortable with the moves. He caters to the individual based on their goals(fighting, cardio, training in general), strengths and weaknesses.
Mazu brings an incredible environment and a very welcoming feeling from the coaches and the team members, when you’re a new person not knowing anyone in there they will take the time to make sure you’re always comfortable and feeling like you belong with everyone else.
It was definitely a challenge getting myself to come into the gym and start out but once I got in there the people you work with make you feel like you belong regardless the skill level your on. Todd and Cole are great coaches they really are good with working with you and helping bring out the best in yourself.
New to muay thai? Start at Mazu Muay Thai
Mazu Muay Thai 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 Mazu 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.
