From the reviews
PMT is an incredible community centered around learning Muay Thai at a pace that works for YOU. Stephen is an extremely friendly and talented teacher. I've trained at several gyms in many disciplines and many of them weren't a fit if you aren't planning on "going pro".
Welcoming environment, free of judgement. Especially important for beginners, like myself. It’s a little scary to be in a gym right now with COVID numbers on the rise, but the head instructor is an epidemiologist!
I joined Pittsburgh Muay Thai as a total beginner and had no idea what to expect. This community is so welcoming and coaches Stephen, Steven, Jason and Tod are challenging but incredibly supportive. Every class focuses on technique and form, works for any ability level, is a great workout and a lot of fun.
I’ve been to all gyms in area and this is by far the most authentic training methodology that feels like how I previously learned under 2 Muay Thai champs when I lived in NJ and NY.
New to muay thai? Start at Pittsburgh Muay Thai (Khaay Muay Sit-Kangmongkorn)
Pittsburgh Muay Thai (Khaay Muay Sit-Kangmongkorn) comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Pittsburgh Muay Thai (Khaay Muay Sit-Kangmongkorn)
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.
