From the reviews
I've been training here for about 8 months and the instructor Dave is great; he's also advancing and improving his own skill set. It's an environment fit for all skill level from beginner to advanced, and being able to learn between Wing Chun and Muay Thai has improved my skills immensely.
My son loves coming here! Dave is a knowledgeable and motivating instructor! I definitely recommend this Muay Thai studio to anyone looking to learn a martial art in a positive and fun atmosphere! 5 stars all the way!
Phenomenal school for anybody looking to learn or increase skills in Muay Thai. Dave is an excellent instructor always learning and implementing new techniques into the training sessions while also making sure to continue refining the fundamentals of martial arts.
Excellent teachers who are incredibly passionate about the art of Mauy Thai. Love going to class each day.
New to muay thai? Start at Sor. Ploenjit Muay Thai
Sor. Ploenjit Muay Thai 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 Sor. Ploenjit 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.
