From the reviews
I have been a student in Muay Thai since 2013 and I can hands down say that Thai Boxing University is a game changer. Having world class instructionals from Ajarn Kevin Seaman at your fingertips is a luxury and this site is without a doubt THE best Muay Thai instructional and reference site out there.
Ajarn Kevin Seaman is a remarkable Muay Thai coach with a plethora of knowledge and a true passion for the art. Thai Boxing University offers a vast array of valuable resources for fighters at any level. As a professional fighter myself, I am honored to represent the Smiling Tiger brand 🙏🏻
New to the community but I’ve been a Smiling Tiger student for the past 5-6 years now and as a result have become one of the striking coaches at my home gym in Harleysville.
Technique is everything, and I’ve found Thai Boxing University’s instruction to be an incredible tool for honing mine. My schedule only allows me to train in person once or twice a week, but Thai Boxing University helps me stay sharp at home. Ajarn Seaman is an outstanding teacher with a great team supporting him.
New to muay thai? Start at Thai Boxing University
Thai Boxing University 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 Thai Boxing University
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.
