From the reviews
Absolutely amazing 1 on 1 with Coach Cade Albracht, highly recommend booking sessions with him and the team. The gym is amazing and for the training itself he breaks you down and works on things from the ground up, beginning to end with things to take home. I felt great and learned so much in my time here.
Cade has single handedly been the reason why i train Muay Thai. I started off with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and was introduced to Muay Thai from a friend. Not only does he make it a fun experience but he knows how to teach and make it exciting. He simulates real fight scenes
Cade is the best. He gave my son one on one privates and we highly recommend him. He helped with speed, agility and strength along with fight preparation!
Man it’s hard to put in the words what it’s been like training under KRU Sonshine ( Cade) It has been nothing short of incredible. Not only is he a phenomenal fighter with impressive skills and deep knowledge of Muay Thai, but his coaching abilities are equally remarkable.
Your first muay thai class at Sonshine Muay Thai
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.
