From the reviews

I seen Pong fighting years ago on television and was amazed with excitement to see him open a gym in Newhall. We need more people like Pong in this world he is an inspiration to me and now I'm one of his students, it's a dream come true. He is the real deal I feal great energy from him and I barely know him.

★★★★★ — Frank, May 2018

I was part of Ekyotin family with Kru Pong. This journey of leaning Muay Thai led me to Thailand. I have met amazing people, learned about an amazing culture, and forever took with me skills that will help me in life. If you're ready to challenge yourself, take the first step.

Kru Pong is the best and knows how to teach. Always come with extra shirts because you will get sweaty

★★★★★ — Eduardo, Sep 2017

For more than 20 years I have known Kru Pong personally. He is kind, welcoming and cares about everyone that enters his Muay Thai gym as I did more than two decades ago on multiple occasions. He produces competitors and works with fitness goals regularly as I have observed from his social media.

Your first muay thai class at World 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.

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.
