The classes they run
“The Coach is amazing, very patient with beginners as well as knowledgeable to being able to get the beginner up to speed quickly.”
“The pricing is extremely reasonable and, the classes are flexible, and it's a great workout.”
“The only thing I will say it's closer to kickboxing than muay thai for sure because the clinch is somewhat neglected along with sweeps from time to time.”
“There is no question how we've produced such good fighters.”
“They don’t just offer adult classes they also have a fun and exciting for the kids as well!”

“Which was particularly helpful since I was quite unfamiliar with BJJ(and martial arts) in general.”

From the reviews
Dropped in for the 9 AM Brazilian Jiu Jitsu class. Instructor was very professional, friendly and made me feel welcome. All of the members were friendly and made me feel welcome as well.
I've been to just about every muay thai gym in this area and I can say without a shadow of a doubt that this place is far and away the best. There is no question how we've produced such good fighters.
I absolutely love this gym! Muay Thai was completely new to me. Being in my late forties and out of shape, I was nervous about starting something new and outside my comfort zone. I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience with WKA. Everyone has been kind, helpful and encouraging.
Just finished my first month at the WKA. Cannot recommend it highly enough. My overall flexibility and fitness has improved dramatically from attending classes, and the price is extremely reasonable. Positive, professional, and (most importantly) safety conscious environment.
New to muay thai? Start at World Kickboxing Academy
World Kickboxing Academy 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 World Kickboxing Academy
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.
