From the reviews
We are very happy with the skills and confidence our five year old son has acquired through the kids classes at Sor Sumrit. Coach Nick and Jimmy have been wonderful to work with and our son won gold and bronze medals at his first Jiu Jitsu tournament after only four months in classes!
this place is my home away from home! Nik Rodriguez, the head coach and owner has been in the game 23+ years and still killing it! Sor Sumrit has a welcoming atmosphere and incredibly talented staff, whether you're interested in brazilian jujitsu, MMA, muay thai (my favorite!
Sor Sumrit is absolutely amazing! My daughter and I have been practicing Muay Thai for a little over two years and have practiced in two different states, with two different styles. Coach Nick offers instruction for every level of fighter and every age.
I’ve been training here for about 2 years. I’ve trained at other places but nothing hits home like Sor Sumrit. The coaches work with you despite age, weight, height or disability. This is truly one of the best gyms in South Carolina.
New to muay thai? Start at Sor. Sumrit Muay Thai
Sor. Sumrit 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. Sumrit 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.
