From the reviews
I must say if you want authentic Muay Thai, this is the spot to go and be. This place has the wai Kru (respect to teacher) to knees and elbows and clinching work. If you want the best you should go there. Awesome place it's like my other home away from home.
Great martial art gym! They offer muay thai, boxing and jiu-jitsu classes here. The head coach it a former champion with multiple belts. As well as some of the coaches there, so u know they really know what they're teaching.
This is the #1 gym in California to train Muay Thai from a champion thai boxer who has lived & trained in Thailand. Kru Walter has Muay Thai & Boxing training
Kru Walter and the coaches (Wilson / Lynn / Machete) are great. I've been with this gym for over a month and my stamina has improved tremendously. I am more confident in my kicks and combos now than ever before ( no prior martial art experience).
New to muay thai? Start at Sityodtong USA (Los Angeles)
Sityodtong USA (Los Angeles) comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. 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 Sityodtong USA (Los Angeles)
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.
