From the reviews
Best gym in Denver. I had to move away and Tankhead is the top of the list of things I miss most about Colorado. Welcoming to anyone from beginners to seasoned fighters. This place is like a family — try it out!!
Extremely authentic, in every single way possible. Coach is one of kind + everyone else is great. I’ve had a hard year & joining Tankhead has already made all the difference in my life.
I know I speak for everyone when I say this place is like family. It seems like an understatement to call it a “good gym”. This place is awesome! The coaches are FABULOUS and it really is a place for all people at any level, I mean very beginner to highly advanced.
This is the gym you are looking for! Hands down best place to learn Muay Thai. You will learn quickly here and get a great workout that hits everything from cardio and strength to proper technique and culture. Best of all, you will feel welcome whether it's your first day training or you're an experienced nak muay.
New to muay thai? Start at Tankhead Thai Boxing
Tankhead Thai Boxing 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 Tankhead Thai Boxing
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. 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.
