Muay Thai Classes

Muay thai is the striking art of Thailand, often called the "art of eight limbs" because it uses punches, kicks, knees, elbows and the clinch — a fuller striking arsenal than kickboxing alone, and one many gyms teach right alongside their kickboxing classes. It rewards balance, timing and toughness, and it's the striking base behind a huge amount of modern kickboxing and MMA. You can train it purely for fitness and skill, or work toward sparring and competition. It suits anyone who wants deeper striking craft than a bag-only cardio class. Expect to learn kicks, knees, elbows and clinch work, expect real conditioning to come with it, and check the schedule for beginner-friendly muay thai times. The 2,095 gyms below offer muay thai classes — use the map to find the closest one, or browse by state.
