From the reviews

Tang Muay Thai is the only authentic Muay Thai Instruction in the Albany area that I have found. The people at Albany Strength and the Instructor are super friendly and you get a sense of community going to train here.

★★★★★ — Tahseen, Sep 2017

I'm from Austin, Texas. I try and visit Muay Thai gyms when I travel, to soak up knowledge. Not all instructors skill sets are created equal or are even beneficial for real fighting but this one is. Jeremy knowledgeable about fundamentals of human movement and fight science.

★★★★★ — Imon, Dec 2019

I have trained at a few different academies over the past 8 and a half months, and Coach Jeremy stands out as an absolutely phenomenal coach. He understands his students’ limits, and knows how to push them safely and effectively, so they continue to grow and improve.

★★★★★ — Sal, May 2026

I went for a drop in Muay Thai class. Jeremy was awesome. The people were really friendly, not at all elitist and easy to get along with.

Your first muay thai class at Sukhti Muay Thai & MMA

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.

Muay thai is a contact sport. Ease in, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
