From the reviews
As a mom who is new to the world of Muay Thai, I am so glad we came to this gym. Team Toro from the beginning has been welcoming and such a great experience for us and our boys. My husband used to train and compete with Ricardo so naturally we came with our boys so they are 2nd generation Team Toro's.
Ricardo is a phenomenal martial art instructor. I been training with him going on 3yrs this coming September. My consistency with training has not been the best to say the least, but anytime I am able to make class he always lets me pick up where I left off.
I started training at this gym a few months ago, and I had no experience with striking. I’ve learned so much since I started. Ricardo is a great coach. He really takes the time to show you how to perfect your skills, and he is very patient with all his students.
This, honestly, is one or if not the best gym in the midwest area. Kru Ricardo is a great instructor. You can count on him for your Muay Thai needs. This gym is a great environment for casuals and people looking to get into the fight game. You will be given great opportunities during your time at this gym.
New to muay thai? Start at Team Toro Janjira Muay Thai
Team Toro Janjira Muay Thai 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 Team Toro Janjira 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.
