From the reviews
Best gym in Denver. I had to move away and Tankhead is the top of the list of things I miss most about Colorado. Welcoming to anyone from beginners to seasoned fighters. This place is like a family — try it out!!
Extremely authentic, in every single way possible. Coach is one of kind + everyone else is great. I’ve had a hard year & joining Tankhead has already made all the difference in my life.
I know I speak for everyone when I say this place is like family. It seems like an understatement to call it a “good gym”. This place is awesome! The coaches are FABULOUS and it really is a place for all people at any level, I mean very beginner to highly advanced.
This is the gym you are looking for! Hands down best place to learn Muay Thai. You will learn quickly here and get a great workout that hits everything from cardio and strength to proper technique and culture. Best of all, you will feel welcome whether it's your first day training or you're an experienced nak muay.
New to kickboxing? Start at Tankhead Thai Boxing
Tankhead Thai Boxing 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 Tankhead Thai Boxing
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. 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.
