A heartfelt thank you to Coach Lanier and the entire TMMT team for the incredible welcome they gave my 15 year old son during his first week. From day one, he felt confident, supported, and surrounded by kindness, high standards, and respect. Thank you as well to all the members who welcomed him as one of their own, with rare generosity and a true family spirit. You are teaching much more than a sport, you are passing on values, confidence, and the drive to push beyond limits. My son is returning to Paris with his head full of dreams and an even stronger motivation to come back and train with you again.

Whether your goal is to learn about the art of Muay Thai, improve your fitness or compete, this gym is the place to be! Kru Al, Cortes & Phoebe are all very knowledgeable in the sport & do an amazing job in creating a welcoming environment for everyone. Aside from the in-depth Muay Thai classes, ranging from Fundamentals, All-Levels & Advanced classes — this gym also does a great job at providing seminars from pro fighters (these past couple months, we’ve had fighters such as Liam Harrison, Anissa Meksen & Eddie Abasolo come in and hosted a seminar). When I first started training, I knew nothing about Muay Thai or how to strike. However, the Krus never gave up on me and continued to motivate and work w. me. As of today, I feel confident in my training, have lost over 40 lbs and plan on competing under this gym! Forever grateful! 🙏🏼

I've been training here since this gym opened and yet to have a bad experience. The coaches are super friendly and approachable, everyone understands that we're all a team. That being said this gym is beginner friendly a lot of advance students will help walk you through the fundamentals, theres also multiple coaches walking around the mats making sure the technics are being being done properly. Highly recommended for all level students!

Team Mana Muay Thai is worth every dollar! The staff and environment are welcoming from the very beginning and open to every skill level. The staff is stacked with skilled fighters with track records to prove their knowledge and techniques. They have several classes a day throughout the week so you can ensure to make your moneys worth. They also have different membership packages that make the training affordable. Team Mana Muay Thai is more than just a gym, it’s a team. They take their business serious but make sure to treat everyone like family. They host consistent seminars with current championship fighters and have connections to various other gyms. My initial sign up had me assuming I was going to show up just to train but I ended up with a whole experience. Highly recommended to everyone! Every time I think the experience can’t get any better the team rolls out a new perk. The latest being open invitations to train in Thailand. I don’t know any other gym that commits to their people the way Team Mana does!

Truly love Mana Muay Thai. The atmosphere is always positive. Unfortunately my work schedule takes time away from being there but when I attend classes the coaches are always reassuring that you are always welcomed. I am constantly learning and improving when I do attend classes. I will always recommend coming to Mana Muay Thai to anyone because you will be welcomed with open arms and you’ll definitely look forward to your next classes!
