The classes they run
“My daughter started at this gym at 6 years old, in September, and before I signed her up, she wanted absolutely nothing to do with mixed martial arts.”
“The community is so so good too, really love how they offer women's only classes to let the women across multiple gyms train together.”
“I came in as a beginner and while I thought I’d be intimidated by the process, I quickly felt very comfortable within my first session and fell in love with the sport.”
“After that, you progress to Advanced Muay Thai for live sparring.”
“If you're looking for a gym for your kids to train at, whether it’s for self-defense or to truly learn how to compete, this is the one.”

From the reviews
As beginners to Muay Thai and martial arts in general, we have loved our experience at House of Muay Thai Williamsburg! Coach Heather and Coach Drew have made the experience really approachable, enjoyable, and an incredible workout.
Amazing facility, with great coaches who generally care about how well you do. I came in as a beginner and while I thought I’d be intimidated by the process, I quickly felt very comfortable within my first session and fell in love with the sport.
My daughter started at this gym at 6 years old, in September, and before I signed her up, she wanted absolutely nothing to do with mixed martial arts. She was shy, nervous, and honestly pretty scared to even step on the mat. From day one, Coach Heather and Coach Drew made her feel comfortable, safe, and supported.
Started here a year and some change ago with no prior martial arts training and sincerely have loved every class. Heather, Drew, Alonzo & Sydney are super dedicated to the gym and make everyone feel welcome almost immediately — especially woman.
New to kickboxing? Start at The House of Muay Thai
The House of Muay Thai comes up as a beginner-friendly gym, going by their listing and members’ reviews. 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 The House of 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.
