From the reviews

Dan Smith is an excellent teacher. He focuses on fitness and form. He's a true steward of the art. He's very patient and is not creating a "puppy mill" of MMA fighters. The program is a great cardiovascular workout and teaches practical self-defense skills. You will not find a better instructor and friend.

Great place to train! Very knowledgeable and friendly instructors. My 6 year old daughter has been going here for a year now. She loves it and has even taken her training and started to compete!

Your first muay thai class at Michigan Muay Thai Academy

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.
