🧑‍🏫 expert, motivating coaching 5 mentions

“I’ve been training with Cade 1:1 for a while now and he’s hands down one of the best coachesI’ve ever worked with.”

From the reviews

Absolutely amazing 1 on 1 with Coach Cade Albracht, highly recommend booking sessions with him and the team. The gym is amazing and for the training itself he breaks you down and works on things from the ground up, beginning to end with things to take home. I felt great and learned so much in my time here.

Cade has single handedly been the reason why i train Muay Thai. I started off with Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and was introduced to Muay Thai from a friend. Not only does he make it a fun experience but he knows how to teach and make it exciting. He simulates real fight scenes

Muay Thai 1 on 1 lessons w/ Sonshine (Coach Cade) Training one-on-one with Cade has completely leveled up my Muay Thai. His knowledge and attention to detail are next level — he breaks everything down in a way that just makes sense and helps you perfect your form in every session.

Your first kickboxing class at Sonshine 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.

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.
