From the reviews
My home away from home. As a 16-5 professional fighter I discovered Son Of Siam 3 years ago. Besides having a amazing group of students, fighters and coaches it really stands apart for it's close knit atmosphere. SOS has been my home for 3 years and i have gone 5-1 under its banner. Great coach/Owner.
Nathan Fitch has a lifetime of martial arts experience and is an excellent teacher. He has produced martial artists and athletes of the best caliber. I highly recommend this gym to anyone interested in BJJ, Muay Thai, MMA, Judo, fitness, self defense, etc.
I primarily attend the noon BJJ classes at this gym and am constantly impressed with both the level of instruction and competition with other members during our sessions. There is a good mix of experienced and beginner students which makes for a great learning environment.
Awesome gym. I have been training bjj there for about 3.5 years and absolutely love it. Nate and the other instructors are knowledgeable and experienced professionals who also happen to be excellent teachers.
New to muay thai? Start at SOS GYM
SOS GYM 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 SOS GYM
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.
