★★★★★ — Sze, Dec 2021

I joined Vital Force almost 9 months ago and I love every second of it. Coach Lee and the other coaches have completely evolved my Muay Thai and kickboxing style to a different level. I see improvements in myself in areas I would have never known needed work on.

★★★★★ — Alec, Jun 2024

Vita Force MMA is hands down one of the best gyms I’ve ever trained at. The coaching staff is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also genuinely invested in helping everyone improve—whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned fighter. The environment is intense but welcoming.

New to muay thai? Start at Vital Force Muay Thai & MMA

Vital Force Muay Thai & MMA 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 Vital Force 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.
