From the reviews

Coach Miguel is, hands down, the best Coach I've ever trained with. Since starting my boxing/kick boxing journey with Coach, I've lost about 55lbs and have greatly improved my skills.

★★★★★ — Van, Apr 2025

I absolutely love MCKO Boxing. My fitness journey was at a stand still. But since finding Miguel not only have I been crushing my fitness goals but he’s got my 3 year old in there crushing it too!!! 10 out of 10 recommend

★★★★★ — Robbie, Apr 2025

My son recently completed about seven classes at this boxing program, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very first session, he felt welcomed and supported. He absolutely loved every class and was always excited to go back.

★★★★★ — Jessica, Mar 2026

I started with Coach and MCKO since the garage. It was originally just to work out here and there and support my brother, but training with coach grew on me so quick. Coming to the private class got me wanting more and more. Soon we were in the new location and I joined the group class. It’s amazing!

New to muay thai? Start at MCKO BOXING

MCKO BOXING 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 MCKO BOXING

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.
