From the reviews

My daughter started going here for a couple month now and she loves it a lot! She was able to make friends quick and also better herself with Taekwondo. Soon afterwards I also joined the classes and I appreciate the work Master Lah and the staff are doing.

★★★★★ — Toufue, Jun 2023

In the Wausau area for work, so I decided to drop by. Owner was super welcoming, as were all the students. Did the Muay Thai, BJJ, and wrestling class. Technique was top notch. If you live in Wausau or visiting the area, this is the gym to be at.

★★★★★ — Gabriel, Nov 2021

Whether it was by helping me lose weight, be less angry or providing me with the fundamentals of boxing, Rising Son Coach Lah Thao has unquestionably changed my life for the better. Thao’s love for the sport and desire to bring out the best in his students is contagious.

★★★★★ — Ulises, Mar 2021

Your first muay thai class at Rising Son 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.

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.
