Brand new mats and bags and the place is super clean. Johnny is a professional Muay Thai fighter with many championships under his belt he gives very detailed technique highly recommend!

★★★★★ — Clint, Aug 2022

Zombie Muay Thai is a great new gym in the heart of lower Manhattan. At the intersection of Greenwich, Kips Bay and Gramercy ZMT is accessible by multiple train lines and the Citi bike station right outside also makes it easy to get there.

★★★★★ — Ibrahim, Feb 2023

I have been training at this gym for nearly two years and I am so proud and happy to have started my martial arts journey here. I have trained under Coach Vinny and his training pushes you but at the same time he keeps you safe while making sure you learn.

★★★★★ — Issac, Nov 2025

Zombie Muay Thai is an incredible gym, and John, the owner and pro Muay Thai fighter, is a major part of what makes it special. His knowledge, dedication, and passion for the sport are evident in every class he teaches.

New to kickboxing? Start at Zombie Muay Thai

Zombie 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 Zombie 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.

Kickboxing is a contact sport. Warm up, pace yourself, listen to your coaches, and if you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them before class and check with a doctor if you're unsure.
