From the reviews

Trained with Kru Willie back in a day as a fighter. Great trainer. There is no screwing around. Everything he does is to break you down and build you up. He doesn't want his fighters hurt, so he teaches you to be the best offensively and defensively. Look forward to coming to the new gym and train.

★★★★★ — Hasan, Jun 2023

This is the best gym I’ve ever trained in. Everybody in the gym works as a team to help each other grow as martial artists. The teacher takes time to make sure you understand what is being taught and he is also very motivational. I could honestly say that I never feel like missing a class.

★★★★★ — Peter, Oct 2020

This is absolutely the best Muay Thai, Tae Kwon do, Judo, and Jiu Jitsu gym I've been to in the Bronx. A strategically intense family training welcomes you from day one. The instructors are bilingual (Spanish and English).

★★★★★ — Suheidy, May 2021

Your first kickboxing class at Lions Roar 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.

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.
