From the reviews

Great place to learn from scratch. I have almost no experience in Muay Thai and I have been learning a lot here. I like the intensity of the training, the progress I make on my technique and the flexibility to attend classes during the week. I 100% recommend this place.

★★★★★ — Cesar, Aug 2023

Maverick Muay Thai is a great place to train. Bryan is very knowledgeable and I always get a good workout in. There's a good mix of fundamentals, advanced, and sparring depending on what you're looking for.

★★★★★ — Laura, Nov 2022

Everyone is so friendly and perfect for whether you’re trying to get a fight or just want to do some cardio!

★★★★★ — Braham, Oct 2023

Bryan is a solid dude and an incredible instructor/fighter. 11/10 would get beat up by Bryan again.

New to kickboxing? Start at Maverick Muay Thai

Maverick Muay Thai 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 Maverick 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. 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.
