From the reviews

Sonny and his instuctors are terrific! I enrolled my son (11) and daughter (9) into Sonny's program because the school my children attended, failed to protect them from bullies. Muay Thai MMA, gave my children the tools they needed.

★★★★★ — C, Feb 2019

Fun gym with amazing people. I have been going here for MuayThai for 8 months without previous experience and Coach Sonny is awesome, helpful and patient. Really learned a lot and love every minute!

★★★★★ — Melissa, Sep 2015

If you are serious about Muay Thai or just looking to get in shape and meet some people, come to this gym. My son never had a pair of gloves on prior to coming to Prime a little over 2 years ago. And, he earned a spot on the USA Muay Thai team and fought in the Youth World Championships.

★★★★★ — Elizabeth, Nov 2023

Awesome gym with a warm, welcoming feel. Head coach and everyone else training will help you become not only a better fighter but also a part of the team that's constantly pushing each other. Fighters are experienced and very skilled.

New to kickboxing? Start at Prime Muay Thai MMA

Prime Muay Thai MMA 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 Prime Muay Thai MMA

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.
