Coach K is an absolute gem. I've grown so much over the last few classes I've had and can't wait to see where we continue to go from here. I also have chronic hip and back pain, and coach has been able to accommodate that very well. Give it a try! You really will feel stronger physically and mentally.

★★★★★ — Ashley, Oct 2025

Outstanding coaching from the best teacher I've ever worked with, and he continues to give me confidence and skills every time I walk in the gym. It only makes me wish I met coach Kelvin and been introduced to Hammer kickboxing years ago! Can't say enough good things about Hammer Muay Thai Kickboxing!

Your first kickboxing class at Hammer Muay Thai Kickboxing Academy

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.
