From the reviews
Whether you’re just there to have a fun workout and learn some MMA skills or if you’re training for an upcoming fight this is the place! They have years of experience from Chris Aboy 20+ years of Muay Thai to Jimmy Lange, professional Boxing Champion.
I brought my children here because I wanted to make sure my daughter was getting enough exercise after battling years of health issues. At first, it took her a little while to warm up, but now she has competed in three sparring competitions and absolutely loves it.
While visiting my son and his family in VA, I accompanied him to his class at T.A.G. He may have mentioned to Chris, the head instructor/owner that I've been training back home in CT in martial arts and self defense.
This is a very welcoming & professional gym. Some of the best coaching I’ve experienced. Growth is unlimited. The owner does a great job hosting special events and seminars that allow you to be exposed to other learning opportunities.
New to kickboxing? Start at TAG Muay Thai
TAG 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 TAG 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.
