From the reviews
If you are looking for a gym with an experienced staff that knows what they’re talking about, this is it! Kru Pol is as authentic as it gets when it comes to Muay Thai. many many fights under her belt and has worked with many professionals in the game. My experience here will be very hard to match at any other gym.

I have been a member of this gym since 2018. The instructors have excellent knowledge and are able to instruct others in learning the art. I am an older student - 69 years young. I practice Moo Duk Kwan — a traditional martial art with practical application — with roots in South Korea.
Nine Limbs Strikers is the best gym around. Kru is professional and fun. We take our son here and he has learned so much. Kru has awesome summer camps where they do all sorts of activities and my son asks to go back every week! She also throws the best nerf battle birthday parties.
New to muay thai? Start at Nine Limbs Strikers
Nine Limbs Strikers 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 Nine Limbs Strikers
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.
