From the reviews

My 13 year old daughter has been going to Carrillo Muay Thai for the past 6 months and her self confidence has increased so much. From dance and tutus to kickboxing and bruises. She decided to leave her dance shoes behind and dedicate full time to Muay Thai kickboxing.

★★★★★ — Luisa, Aug 2021

Great gym to train Muay Thai! The classes are fun and Coach Jean really focus on technique and fundamentals. There is a strong sense of respect between everyone, even as a beginner. I feel safe yet challenged during sparring, which is what you want. The gym is clean and tidy and not gross like other gyms lol.

★★★★★ — Sergio, May 2024

I feel very fortunate to have found Carillo Muay Thai. The coaches are friendly, approachable, and extremely knowledgeable. I learn something new in every class. When I first started, I was concerned because I wasn't in great shape and had no prior combat experience.

★★★★★ — Nick, Sep 2025

Just discovered this treasure, After watching some YouTube videos, exploring their website, and studying other local gyms, I decided to make this place my 10 year old’s gym. My drive is about 30/35 min and well worth the gas.

New to kickboxing? Start at Carrillo Muay Thai - Thai Boxing - Kick Boxing City of Orange, Santa Ana. Orange County

Carrillo Muay Thai - Thai Boxing - Kick Boxing City of Orange, Santa Ana. Orange County 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 Carrillo Muay Thai - Thai Boxing - Kick Boxing City of Orange, Santa Ana. Orange County

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.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
