From the reviews
If you're intimidated by the prospect of having to actually touch other people (let alone hit/kick them/get hit/kicked by them) I understand. I understand the idea of being freaked out by the intensity of this place, or even just the prospect of entering a "dungeon" filled with ripped, sweaty, shirtless people making…
I have been training with Coach Joseph since 2007. What separates Coach Joseph from other instructors is his close attention to each student, his beautiful demonstration of each technique and his willingness to work with your conditions, i.e., previous experience, age and athletic abilities.
This gym is my home, Coach Joe is family to me as well as the team who invest their time and energy here, i recommend you all to come in take class. Im confident youll love it and learn something not just about striking but about yourself, his class is deeply therapeutic for me and im sincerely grateful that strikers…
I will say that Kru Joe and Strikers Inc. is not for everyone (lazy and unwilling to learn people need not apply); but if you have the right mindset and are looking for truly a great workout and some great people to learn and grow with then this is the right place to be!!
New to muay thai? Start at Strikers Inc.
Strikers Inc. comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Strikers Inc.
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.
