From the reviews
Tewa has a welcoming vibe for beginners and Coach Quinn offers great instruction and feedback. The classes are a mix of conditioning, pad work, and technical sparring which makes them fun and challenging in a good way!
DONT COME HERE!!! Unless you want to be part of a great community with a coach that’s passionate about teaching traditional Muay Thai. One of the things that I enjoy coming to classes is how Quinn actually watches and critiques you on how you can improve your technique. That’s something you don’t see too often.
Solid training for any level of Muay Thai. Quinn is an incredible coach, bringing years of experience, knowledge and genuine care. It’s clear that he is invested in improving his students’ technique no matter their level of training. The gym is clean, welcoming, and is full of great vibes.
Cannot recommend this gym enough! Authentic Muay Thai gym, for all levels of experience. Quinn is an amazing coach with an eye for technique/fundamentals and you can tell how passionate he is about his craft. The gym is super clean, atmosphere always on point and proud to be apart of this amazing crew!
New to muay thai? Start at Tewa Muay Thai
Tewa 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 Tewa 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.
