I met a great group of guys and coaches and learned a lot at this gym throughout my time in Texas. The overall environment was nothing but positive. It’s unfortunate that I have to move back home due to circumstances outside of training because I enjoyed being apart of this place. I would definitely recommend this gym for anyone looking for Great training and solid coaching!

Our two 9year olds are attending this academy. They have fun while sweating. My husband and I love the atmosphere and the discipline enforced. All the coaches are attentive and diligent.

We started going here a year ago with my seven year old daughter. Saying Johnathan and Zeek changed my daughter’s confidence is an understatement. We came from another Muay Thai gym where my daughter was TKO’d which created a complete fear of Muay Thai. My daughter refused to spar a year ago, and is now competing, and ready to jump in. The coaches genuinely care about each student, and focus on each one with the skills needed. My daughter used to run into a fight just throwing her hands crazy, and now that also has completely changed. This gym does NOT cut corners, and cares about the children knowing basic Thai language ( hello,goodbye, respect,counting,and Thailand history). Respect and love for others in a HUGE thing here. Johnathan prepares each student on knowing how to defend themselves, and stop a bullying situations. Absolutely fantastic gym for kids!!

Prices are very reasonable, Coach John, Angel and Christian have been great with the kids. My son has been going for about two months and has some responsibility and discipline issues. This program has helped. Definitely worth trying out. They have adult classes as well
