From the reviews
Sacan is the place to be for martial arts training in the west Chester/Cincinnati area. Neal, the head Thai coach, has years of experience. Not only was he a championship competitor himself, he's also coached multiple champions including former ufc fighter and middle weight world champion Rich Franklin.
Great place with great people. Everyone treats each other with respect and all levels of experience are accepted. Head instructor, Neal Rowe, is very knowledgeable in several different arts. The gym is affordable compared compared to most gyms in the region.
Been training Muay Thai for 6 years in Malaysia, other parts of the States and even Thailand itself. And the only man who ever taught the way great evasive counter fighters such as Saenchai, Samart, Somrak and Lerdsila advocated is the one and only Neal Rowe.
Easily one of the best places to train in Muay Thai in the region. Lots of emphasis on technique - not a show up and beat up kind of place. If you stay long enough, you will see Kru will teach you the art of fighting, not just Thai boxing!
New to kickboxing? Start at Sacan Martial Arts
Sacan Martial Arts 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 Sacan Martial Arts
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.
