Have been bringing my child for about 9 months now, and we’re very grateful for the culture here! The staff is simultaneously disciplined, welcoming and relational. They provide a very well rounded environment for all students- children & adults.

★★★★★ — Danny, Oct 2023

Coming to Ohana was one of the best decisions we ever made for my now 6-yo son. Out of all the sports he tried this is what we chose to do consistently. We've been going for 2 years now and it's amazing to see how much he has improved in physical fitness, technique, confidence, courtesy, respect and discipline.

Your first muay thai class at Ohana Academy South

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.
