My 2 Sons love it here! The owner & coaches are all really nice and great at what they do. My children always look forward to coming here. They throw some cool holiday parties for their members & family. We have tried many facilities to help our boys boost their confidence.
Shraim’s Boxing academy is top notch! My son has been coming here for about 6 months now and he loves his weekly workout with Coach Mark. All of the coach’s are phenomenal and work very well with kids as well as folks of all ages! They’re teaching my son some nice skills along with discipline.
This gym has an incredible sense of community and a truly authentic boxing experience. The coach breaks everything down in a way that’s easy to understand and applies to real life — you don’t just learn techniques, you learn how to think like a fighter.
New to muay thai? Start at Shraims Academy
Shraims Academy 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 Shraims Academy
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.
