From the reviews
In 2004 a friend and I started doing sausage sizzles for 2 years to raise enough money for our first training trip to Thailand. It was absolutely worth giving up all those weekends and in 2006 we finally made it to Thailand.
Training with Kru Chon through private Muay Thai lessons has truly been life-changing, and I’m so grateful for his coaching. He holds you to a high standard in a way that feels supportive and encouraging, not overwhelming.
All instructors at The Little Giant Muay Thai are very knowledgeable and motivating. Especially Kru Roger and Kru Chon, their enthusiasm and intensity is energizing and inspiring!
I started training at LGMT at the beginning of 2026 and have loved every class. As a complete beginner I had a lot to learn but Kru Chon and Kru Roger are excellent teachers who teach authentic Muay Thai for every experience every level.
New to kickboxing? Start at THE LITTLEGIANT MUAY THAI
THE LITTLEGIANT 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 THE LITTLEGIANT 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.
