The classes they run
“The classes begin with a warm up of shadow boxing or hitting the heavy bag, then a series of stretches, followed by a well informed lesson with 3-5 combos.”

From the reviews
This is the best places to learn Muay Thai! You will learn the basics of the basics and slowly build you up! Not everyone wants to be a fighter but you should learn how to defend yourself and this is the place to learn!
Adult classes - I've been coming here for almost a year, and this has been such a great experience. The coaches are amazing and with years of experience. They go around the room, making sure your technique/form are correct.
I currently train at this location of the Sac. MTL Academy and love it. Not long after I started training here Andy K. left and AK King took over as primary trainer - and it has been nothing but good. Everyone is supportive and have good attitudes, and everyone is willing to help out anyone who needs it.
Amazing place to train with amazing instructors and people! Coach AK (Not Andy K.), Coach Tyler, and Coach Art are amazing instructors that dedicate their time to helping you learn basic/intermediate/advanced skills in Muay Thai/Kickboxing/Boxing striking and defense.
New to kickboxing? Start at 8 Limbs Muay Thai and Fitness
8 Limbs Muay Thai and Fitness comes up as a beginner-friendly gym — noted on their own site. If you've never thrown a punch or a kick, that's exactly who a good beginners class is for. A few things worth knowing before your first week. First, you don't need to be fit or coordinated to start — you get in shape by training, not before it, and coaches scale every drill to you. Second, you won't be thrown into hard sparring — reputable gyms build the basics (stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads and bags) first, and any contact eases in gradually under a coach's control. Third, all fitness levels really are welcome — ask about a dedicated beginners or fundamentals class time so your first session is alongside others who are also starting out. Most gyms are happy to let you watch or try a class first, so reach out before you commit.
Your first kickboxing class at 8 Limbs Muay Thai and Fitness
Nervous about walking into a kickboxing gym for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good coaches expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a warm-up, then drilling the basics — stance, footwork, and punches and kicks on pads or a heavy bag — not hard sparring. Go at your own pace and rest whenever you need to; no one will bat an eye. What to wear: comfortable athletic clothes you can move and sweat in, and supportive trainers. What to bring: water, and hand wraps and gloves if you have them — many gyms lend loaner gloves for a first class, so it's worth asking when you call. As you keep training you'll add your own gloves and wraps (and shin guards once you start sparring). Sparring is optional and eases in gradually, once your basics are solid. Arrive 10–15 minutes early to sign a waiver and meet the coach. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
