From the reviews
My home away from home. As a 16-5 professional fighter I discovered Son Of Siam 3 years ago. Besides having a amazing group of students, fighters and coaches it really stands apart for it's close knit atmosphere. SOS has been my home for 3 years and i have gone 5-1 under its banner. Great coach/Owner.
Best gym in the Cincinnati area! Everyone is very welcoming and make you feel like a part of the team on day one. Instructors have a ton of experience. Looking to compete, train for self defense, or just to stay in shape? Son of Siam has all that and then some. Stop in and check them out. You won't be disappointed.
Nathan Fitch has a lifetime of martial arts experience and is an excellent teacher. He has produced martial artists and athletes of the best caliber. I highly recommend this gym to anyone interested in BJJ, Muay Thai, MMA, Judo, fitness, self defense, etc.
This gym absolutely saved my life. The instructors and owner are wonderful people and want nothing more to teach the amazing values of mixed martial arts. I could never see myself training elsewhere. I absolutely recommend to try this gym out. I've been here since 2018 and have always had a wonderful experience.
New to kickboxing? Start at SOS GYM
SOS GYM 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 SOS GYM
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.
