Muay Thai
a way of life

Muay Thai is a powerful striking-based combat sport known as the “Art of Eight Limbs” because it uses punches, kicks, elbows, and knees - more than other striking sports, such as boxing.

Developed in Thailand, it blends technical precision with raw intensity, making it one of the most effective & respected stand-up fighting systems in the world. Whether you’re looking to sharpen your self-defense skills, challenge your mind & body, or become a professional fighter, Muay Thai offers a disciplined, full-body experience that builds strength, confidence, and resilience.

OUR Commitment

Our head coach, Nick Bismack, has transformed athletes from having no experience to becoming national champions in under 2 years. He’s coached fighters from their very first bout to their 100th, providing top-tier training to help every athlete reach their full potential.

Top fighters in the UFC and ONE Championship consistently incorporate Muay Thai into their training because of its unmatched effectiveness in striking, making it a core striking system for MMA. Elite athletes use it to sharpen their stand-up game, improve clinch control, and deliver devastating finishes. Whether they're preparing for a title fight or sharpening their fundamentals, Muay Thai remains a crucial weapon in their arsenal.

Our CLASSES

  • Build precision, power, and timing through focused mitt work with a coach or partner. Great for sharpening technique and conditioning.

  • Put your skills to the test in a safe, supervised setting. Learn how to move, react, and apply what you’ve learned with real-time feedback.

  • Clinching is the art of controlling your opponent up close using grips around the head, neck, or body. It’s used to land damaging knees and elbows, break their posture, and set up sweeps or throws. In this class, you’ll practice clinching with multiple partners to develop your close-range fighting skills.

  • This class is great for beginners but also valuable for advanced fighters to sharpen their fundamentals. If it’s your first time trying Muay Thai, we recommend starting with an All Levels class.

  • This class is for competitive fighters or experienced hobbyists. It’s a very challenging class with intense training designed for elite athletes.

 FAQs

  • We get it… trying something new can feel intimidating. But don’t worry, your first class is all about getting comfortable and having fun. You'll start with a group warm-up, learn basic techniques like footwork, punches, and kicks, and do drills on pads (not people!). No sparring, no pressure. Just a supportive environment and coaches who’ve got your back.

    Wear workout clothes, bring water, and come ready to move. We’ll take care of the rest. Most people leave their first class feeling sweaty, proud, and already wanting to come back.

  • Absolutely! When taught the right way, Muay Thai is not only safe for kids, it’s one of the most empowering activities they can do. Our youth program focuses on building confidence, coordination, and discipline in a fun, structured environment.

    We use age-appropriate techniques, no-contact or light-contact drills, and always prioritize safety. Kids learn how to move, focus, and defend themselves without the pressure to fight or compete. Our coaches are experienced in working with children and are always in their corner, making sure every class is positive and encouraging.

    With the right guidance (and plenty of high fives), Muay Thai becomes a safe space for growth—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

  • Not at all! Our beginner classes are designed for first-timers. No experience necessary. You'll learn the fundamentals at your own pace with guidance from our coaches and a supportive community. Just show up, and we’ll take care of the rest.

  • Yes! Muay Thai is one of the most effective full-body workouts out there. It builds strength, improves cardio, burns fat, and boosts flexibility, all while keeping things fun and challenging. Whether you’re hitting pads or working through drills, you’ll be sweating, moving, and getting stronger every class.

  • Boxing focuses on punches: jabs, crosses, hooks, and uppercuts… using just your fists. Muay Thai, often called “the art of eight limbs,” goes beyond that. It uses punches, elbows, knees, and kicks, plus clinch work. That means more striking tools and a more well-rounded approach to self-defense and fitness.
