From the reviews
Everyone deserves to love themselves in a wholesome and honest way. Coming to that resolve is not an easy journey! First, you have to want better for yourself; then you need to challenge yourself. It's not all at once you wake up as a better and stronger person.
I started out doing boxing at a UFC gym in Fairfax and it was not the experience i was looking for. I wasn't looking for a place to just hit a bag for an hour i was looking for real combat training. And one of my childhood friends said that he trained at this authentic Muay thai gym.
I have been to multiple gyms in the DMV, Texas, and California, and none have came close to Lotus Thai Boxing. Not only will you get a high intensity workout and be sweating like you never imagined but you will simultaneously learn real Muay Thai.
Grateful for the resources this gym provides. Can’t help but acknowledge the constant improvement inside and outside the gym that results from training at Lotus Thai Boxing. When you start taking training seriously, you realize that finding a good gym, with good mentors to surround yourself with, is everything.
New to kickboxing? Start at Lotus Thai Boxing
Lotus Thai Boxing comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 Lotus Thai Boxing
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.
