From the reviews
I ENJOYED! I am from Singapore and was in Rochester for 1 week course. I decided to join a gym to spend my free time practicing Muay Thai. After reading the review, i found Rochester Muay Thai and I chose the correct gym. Christian is a very welcoming and attentive coach. The people in the gym are very friendly.
Rochester Muay Thai is a great place to train and learn if you have experience or not. Having been involved in martial arts, Muay Thai and boxing for over 30 years I highly recommend Rochester Muay Thai. Christian is a very knowledgeable and humble instructor. The class structure is excellent!
I am new student of Rochester Muay Thai and I even managed to convince my brother to join. Our introduction classes were excellent and I had no doubt in my mind about continuing here. Christian is very patient and humble which are great attributes to this school and his teaching.
I decided to try Muay Thai kind of impulsively, and I had a great experience at this gym. At first, I was really intimidated because I am out of shape and kind of a shy person, but Coach Christian is so welcoming and truly made me feel like I belonged there right away.
New to kickboxing? Start at Rochester Muay Thai
Rochester Muay Thai 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 Rochester 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.
