From the reviews
Outstanding gym. Coach Dave is a great teacher and a great person. His Muay Thai training is excellent. He trains in Thailand every year and uses those experiences as well as his personal and professional networks to keep us experiencing and learning new techniques and perspectives all of the time.
Coach Dave Nelson is a great guy, very talented, and a credit to his art. Yes, he is a fighter. But he also understands the wider implications of teaching Muay Thai as a martial art, and as such the character development and self-confidence it encourages in its participants of any age.
Great gym, Great people!! The head coach, Dave Nelson, is very intuitive when making his lessons. If you come to him with questions or you are struggling with a certain technique or move he will find a way to incorporate it into that days lesson so you and everyone can learn much faster.
Good family, friendly place. My child has been a member of this Muay Thai family for almost four years. His confidence level has grown tremendously. The staff is awesome. They help every individual with growing and learning the art of Muay Thai.
New to kickboxing? Start at Sabai Sabai Muay Thai
Sabai Sabai 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 Sabai Sabai 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.
