★★★★★ — Brian, Mar 2025

I really enjoyed my time training at Park Slope Muay Thai. What stood out to me the most was the personalized approach to coaching. I'm recovering from ACL surgery, and Caleb went above and beyond—he adapted every class to fit my needs, often creating entirely separate combinations just for me.

★★★★★ — Mckenzie, Jul 2025

This Muay Thai gym is a true gem. Training here has helped me become more in tune with my body, my instincts, and my inner strength. Kru Caleb teaches with intention, precision, and care.

★★★★★ — Grace, Aug 2025

Had a great first class. Caleb is very knowledgeable and patient with his students. The class was fun, engaging, tough, informative, and very rewarding. Can’t wait to come back for another class. Perfect blend of a work out and learning a new skill.

New to muay thai? Start at Park Slope Muay Thai

Park Slope 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 Park Slope 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.

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.
