From the reviews
World class Muay Thai instructor and facility. My child and I were greeted with a smile and upbeat attitude every session. He learned self defense skills to last a lifetime. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a more confident child.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely Outstanding Martial Arts Academy! Our family has been part of five different jiu-jitsu academies over the years, and this one is hands down superior in every measurable way. My 13-year-old son and 8-year-old daughter have learned so much in both jiu-jitsu and Muay Thai since joining.
My 7 year old son has been coming here for 6 months, when I tell you he has learned to be confident in his ability to protect himself is a HUGE understatement. Before attending these classes he was very shy didn’t like to interact much and was nervous to make mistakes.
I absolutely love Sentosa Martial Arts AND the instructors. My 3 children have been participating in Muay Thai and Jujitsu since July. The confidence my daughter has gained since then is astounding, she is a completely different little girl.
New to muay thai? Start at Sentosa Martial Arts and Fitness
Sentosa Martial Arts and Fitness 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 Sentosa Martial Arts and Fitness
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.
