From the reviews
Sonny and his instuctors are terrific! I enrolled my son (11) and daughter (9) into Sonny's program because the school my children attended, failed to protect them from bullies. Muay Thai MMA, gave my children the tools they needed.
Fun gym with amazing people. I have been going here for MuayThai for 8 months without previous experience and Coach Sonny is awesome, helpful and patient. Really learned a lot and love every minute!
If you are serious about Muay Thai or just looking to get in shape and meet some people, come to this gym. My son never had a pair of gloves on prior to coming to Prime a little over 2 years ago. And, he earned a spot on the USA Muay Thai team and fought in the Youth World Championships.
Awesome gym with a warm, welcoming feel. Head coach and everyone else training will help you become not only a better fighter but also a part of the team that's constantly pushing each other. Fighters are experienced and very skilled.
New to muay thai? Start at Prime Muay Thai MMA
Prime Muay Thai MMA 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 Prime Muay Thai MMA
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.
