Thaphae Muay Thai Gym Training Session in Chiang Mai

If you're visiting Chiang Mai, you should definitely try a Muay Thai class! It's a truly unique and exhilarating experience! I booked a group class on Klook a day in advance, thinking it would be less awkward with more people, but I still ended up making a fool of myself. The class started at 9 AM and finished at 10:30 AM, lasting a total of one and a half hours. For the first ten minutes or so, the head coach, Mark, led us through stretching, warm-ups, and jogging around the ring. The Thai coach spoke English, and everyone understood him. Since I was the only Chinese person there, my reactions were a bit slower than others, but I managed to get through the class despite some fumbling. After the warm-up, the head coach started wrapping our hands. After he wrapped one hand, he asked me how it felt. I said it was too tight, so he loosened it for me. But after he wrapped the other hand, I still felt it was too tight. He smiled helplessly and had to loosen that one too. I thought maybe the hand wraps for Muay Thai needed to be tight to protect the hands! But after the class, my hands were covered in marks, haha. Luckily, I didn't get injured. After wrapping our hands, the head coach had us put on gloves and started teaching us basic moves. After each move, he'd have us practice in pairs, repeating until we mastered the basics. My training partner was the assistant coach, "Ice." I often made mistakes because I was too nervous, like punching with my left hand and forgetting to guard with my right. He would tell me that if I didn't guard, someone would "bang" and hit me. Although the assistant coach also told me not to be nervous and just enjoy it, I always had that "good student" mindset, wanting to do my best, which just made me more flustered. In the end, I made the assistant coach laugh. He even started guarding when he should have been punching and punching when he should have been guarding. Seeing how nervous I was, he even jokingly threatened to hit me hard. I quickly waved my hands, "Nonono! You will hurt me! No!" He saw me frowning in fear and burst out laughing. Then we couldn't continue training; we were both bent over laughing. I guess that's my secret weapon in a fight! Making my opponent laugh until they're exhausted, and then winning without a fight. After a 90-minute trial class, I was completely exhausted. My hands hurt from the wraps, and my feet hurt from kicking. Even though I was hitting people, punching sandbags, and kicking tires, I was sore as if I had been beaten up. But it was so much fun and exhilarating! Life experience +1

Although the gym was rather small but there were 3 trainers for our group of 4 participants. The training was intense and it was really a good workout by learning the basics of Muay Thai. It would be perfect if can get into the ring and train.

The 90-minute group class is quite fun and fulfilling. The workout intensity is fairly high, so it might be a little challenging for those without a fitness background. There aren't specific groups based on fitness level, but the instructor will go over basic movements with beginners. The class includes a warm-up, and the instructor reminds everyone to hydrate regularly. There's a water dispenser on-site, so bring your own water bottle. Remember to bring a towel and a change of clothes.

Great and wonderful Muay Thai gym! The training was intense yet enjoyable, and the coaches were very supportive and professional. The environment is motivating and welcoming. I truly enjoyed every session and would highly recommend this gym to anyone wanting to learn or improve Muay Thai.

The group class experience was great. It's suitable even for students who don't normally exercise. The instructor teaches according to individual needs and provides a lot of emotional support.

During our 2-week trip to Chiang Mai, in the second week, my 9-year-old daughter, husband, and I took a Muay Thai group class. It was harder than I expected, but it was so much fun beyond that, I was so satisfied that I thought, "I wish I had done it sooner, I would have done it a few more times!" I chose this place because it was close to our accommodation, and we were all quickly drawn in because the teachers were bright, friendly, and explained everything in detail. In particular, my daughter enjoyed it so much that she said, "Let's come again!" I highly recommend it as a family experience! 🥊✨

It was my first lesson of myah thai. I love the teacher Nock. He was so kind and patient! Besides teaching basic steps, he also taught the theory behind each posture. I love myah thai very much. I high recommend it to others.

It was a lot of fun, the coaches and participants were all friendly. They teach you how to punch and kick from the basics for beginners, so even beginners can enjoy it without any problems. Some of the coaches spoke a little Japanese, which was fun. The staff took videos and photos during the experience and I was able to receive the photos via AirDrop later!

Only in Chiang Mai for four days! This is my second time going! I learned a lot of useful Muay Thai techniques! The instructors also teach according to individual aptitude and are very interesting! Even if you go alone, it's very suitable! I even bought souvenirs at the end! A very good experience! If you like Muay Thai, you must try it once!

Super fun class! The instructors are professional but make it really enjoyable. Great way to learn Thai boxing.
