Hinds Combat Midtown West

A hot Summer day, walking by and noticed this space. I had secretly manifested my dream Muay Thai gym, and it happened! Ground floor, bright and clean open space! Most importantly, a wholesome place. Did research and realized this is a respectable Muay Thai gym opened by Coach Sean Hinds. I respect OG. Maturity is important to teach martial arts, less ego, and more emotional intelligence and self-control like Hinds Combat teachers. I like that Coach Hinds chose coaches that embody his cool, calm and intelligent energy. Signed up for a trial class that weekend and didn't know what to expect. Cause every school is different. Coach Alexandros at the front desk. Very cool-calm and led a mighty class…I came out pew pew, signed up and here I am! Pew, pew every week! Alexandros has years and years of Muay Thai training. I find learning from Coaches who love and respect the art to be meaningful. I’ve been able to work on evolving bad habits into proper form and technique. He travels through class and you can tell he cares enough that he shares his knowledge and experience so that his students can evolve to be great. I’ve also taken classes with Domingo and Jay and they are both so wonderful! This is a lovely community. That’s a W for me!

If you’ve been looking for a place to practice authentic Muay Thai, you must not look further. Most gyms claim to teach Muay Thai, but in reality teach kickboxing instead. Coach Alex runs a legitimate Muay Thai program. Coach Alex is not only a multiple time world champion in Muay Thai but also a great teacher and very empathetic human being. If you have any concerns of brain damage, he runs a no-nonsense, ego free class. It is as safe as can be. Whether you want to compete or simply learn the art, come in to one of Alex’s classes. You will have a great time.

Be prepared to sweat! If you want to learn traditional Muay Thai in a positive and encouraging environment with no egos—just hard work and respect - come here. Thank you to David and his team of knowledgeable coaches, their dedication to providing top-tier training truly makes this the best Muay Thai gym around.

My time spent at this gym was some of the best experience of my fitness career. When I first walked in I had very limited combat training experience, but the guidance I received is not only something that improved my overall mental and physical health, but gave me the confidence to be successful in areas of my life I didn’t even know were possible. The coaching staff are amazing mentors, motivators, and they treat each member with respect. If you’re trying to better yourself this is the place to go. It is one big family, and I think everyone would benefit from their programs.

My 5yr old has been taking the new kids program here for several weeks now and its been such a great experience. I've always wanted my child to learn martial arts and this program made it easy to start. The instructors are accommodating and friendly while instilling a sense of discipline. The brand new facility and their dedication to keeping everything consistently clean is also a huge plus for me. My child loves coming here and its been so fun watching him develop in terms of basic techniques/form, all while having fun. I highly recommend this program for any parents looking for a unique extracurricular program/sport for their child
