From the reviews
Training private sessions with Coach Matt M @ Ambush! Excellence, professionalism, skilled, tough are words that come to mind with a kind warrior spirit! Thank you Coach Matt and Ambush for sharing the Art of 8 limbs! Dr Valentin
***updated review*** I have officially been a member of this gym for 1 year as of may 1st 2023 and I still feel the same way I did as last year when I first posted my review! I have made even more friends that feel like family!
Amazing culture, and talent. There's a place for everyone from the novice to the highly skilled technical fighter. I have trained in a lot of academies and I truly look forward to my next class each week. Something to learn every day. They take it to a new level.
My 5 year old son and i have been training at Ambush for about 5 months now, and we absolutely love it. The instructors are all incredibly knowledgeable,experienced, and patient specially with kids. I like that they actually fight professionally and they're always willing to help you improve your skills.
New to kickboxing? Start at Ambush Muay Thai
Ambush Muay Thai 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 Ambush Muay Thai
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.
