From the reviews
Josh and Erica make an amazing team! They are knowledgeable, patient and attentive. It's a great workout for weight loss and/or muscle gain, or if you are looking to compete, they are incredibly skilled in that area as well! It's a fun atmosphere! I highly recommend!
I've been coming here for about 6 months and it has been a great experience. The trainers are very good at giving individualized attention when needed and the classes have been a perfect mix of getting in shape and learning some Thai Boxing.
Like my daughter said after the first workout, “they ain’t playin!” Great instruction and workout. Highly recommended.
Absolutely the best training on the planet. Instructors rock. Friendly, professional, and incredible fighters.
New to kickboxing? Start at Jaguar Muay Thai Academy
Jaguar Muay Thai Academy 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 Jaguar Muay Thai 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.
