From the reviews
If you want to learn authentic Muay Thai and Dutch style kickboxing at any level. North Shore Muay Thai Academy Lynn is the place to be at. Marc is experienced at teaching beginners and training fighters from amateur to pro.
I’ve been really enjoying NSMT after joining about a month ago, having had prior Muay Thai experience at other gyms. There is a great variety of class offerings and times in the evenings, the people are welcoming and respectful, and Marc (as noted in other reviews) brings a lot of experience and energy to his coaching.
I have known Mark Meltzer since high school. I have trained with him at North Shore Muay Thai Academy in both group and private classes. Mark is a phenomenal coach and a stand up guy! Whether you are a beginner or a champion his attention to detail will make you better.
North shore Muay Thai is the perfect gym for strikers. Students and coaches are committed and passionate. The space is gorgeous, with a ring, a matt, bags, plenty of Muay Thai equipment... also there is a real weight lifting gym, cross fit circuits and equipment. They are also so friendly and welcoming.
New to kickboxing? Start at North Shore Muay Thai Academy
North Shore 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 North Shore 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.
