From the reviews
I have been with King Muay Thai over a year, I have made a Muay Thai Family. I have grown from the amazing dedication from the leadership and training. Before I joined I had never done martial art and in the year I have grown skills and even competed in a tournament which I never would have imagined a year ago.
Great place to train with amazing instructors and a very welcoming community of people.
King Muay Thai is a special place. The program carries on the authentic teachings and traditions passed down from Ajarns Dan and Ying King, who helped shape Muay Thai in Charlotte for decades. You can feel that legacy the moment you walk in. What really stands out is the environment.
Been training at King for just about 2 years and I couldn’t recommend them enough. Coming from a completely sedentary background and office job, training at King has legitimately changed the scope of my life. I’ve lost 50lbs and am significantly stronger & happier.
New to kickboxing? Start at King Muay Thai
King 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 King 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.
