The 1st thing you’re going to feel is our friendly non-intimidating vibe as you walk in. Our Muay Thai Kickboxing class caters to beginners as well as those looking for more advanced training and competition. We’ve had members compete and win in local Muay Thai tournaments, although most people come for a great workout and to learn the “art of the eight limbs“: punching, elbows, kicks, and knees. Muay Thai is the most complete and devastating form of stand-up Martial Art as it incorporates your whole body in striking. Everyone starts learning the fundamentals to keep you safe and help along your progression in a systematic way. We’re also the only Muay Thai program that has a dedicated sparring night if you’d like to take your training to the next level and put it into live practice. Our sparring nights are fun and safe and allow you to grow at your own pace as you put the technique into live practice.  Muay Thai on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 6:30 p.m. & Monday and Wednesday 12 p.m. classes.

What Is Muay Thai Kickboxing?

Simply put Muay Thai is the most devastating and effective for of stand-up Martial Art because it incorporates the whole body: Knees, Kicks, Fists, and Elbows as well as clinching your opponent. Every fight starts standing and Muay Thai gives you the tools and strategies to strike however possible. Practiced for over 1000 years, it’s Thailand’s unofficial national sport.
Muay Thai Austin at John's Gym
​Muay Thai was developed as a form of martial art for Siamese soldiers if they lost their weapons in battle. Once Thailand was at peace, Muay Thai became a form of physical exercise, self-defense, and personal advancement. Unlike other Martial Arts gyms that teach traditional Martial Arts like Karate, Taekwondo, or other Korean Martial Arts that focus on forms and base their grading on board breaking or how well you can do a “form”, we focus on real practical self defense skills and techniques. Everyone starts at Level 1 learning the foundation of the Muay Thai stance and fundamental striking techniques. From there you move on through the levels learning how to hold pads for your partner, advanced striking tactics and ring generalship, as well as, sparring nights if you’d like. Each level brings new challenges and techniques so you never feel board or feel like you’re hitting a plateau.

I'm only a few months in with the Muay Thai program at the gym, but I've loved every second of it. I'm always looking forward to the next class every time I leave the gym and every instructor is well trained and will push you to get your desired results.
