It’s been a year and half since I started training with Coach Rad. His teaching style makes it easy for everyone to understand Muay Thai. He encourages you to reach your full potential while emphasizing the importance of technique. The vibe of this place is so welcoming for both beginners and advanced practitioners alike. My classmates are very supportive as well. I highly recommend it—it’s my happy place!
Posted 1 year agoTruly amazing place I’m newer there and younger than most, but I get treated with the upmost respect and patience. Rad is a great teacher and always has a lesson. It’s absolutely worth it to try out a class.They had help me get through a past trauma from a former martial arts. So if you want to get into it for the first time or return to it this is the place.

Posted 11 months agoI tried to start Muay Thai in January of 2024 but ultimately had an unrelated injury prevent me from continuing. After months and months of PT, I finally gave up on returning and went in to cancel in October 2024. Not only did Jennifer and Kru Rad remember me despite only having met me a handful of times, they offered to put a pause on my membership until I was able to come back. And come back I did. I have now been training with Kru Rad for 2.5 months and I can only echo what others have said here. Whether it be Kru Rad himself or other students, this gym is a place to humble yourself and learn. The difference I've seen in myself in these short 10 weeks has been remarkable. No matter your background or starting skill level, it's made clear that if you have a desire to grow then you have a home in this gym. Anyone who wants to learn can learn, and you have the advantage of training with someone more experienced than you every day. I have also noticed that Kru Rad has many relationships with other gyms across the metro area which can only ever be a positive in my opinion. If I recall correctly, the gym has hosted women's only sparring in the past with it being open to women from all of the other gyms. Obviously not something I would be able to participate in, but it goes to show how community is a focal point of the gym. Lastly, to add in some things that have personally made this gym feel like home to me: - A couple people seem to train all day, every day. I'm not entirely convinced they don't live inside of the gym, but jokes aside, seeing that kind of dedication to the gym from those who have been there longest says very positive things about it as a whole. - Kru Rad makes an effort to know you and he's very personable and easy going (this does not mean he tolerates disrespect or carelessness, however). I struggle with talking to new people and his friendliness goes a long way to encouraging that kind of environment as a whole. - The gym has a key focus on discipline, humility, and respect, which I think has helped keep the right people around from what I've seen so far. - If someone is inside the gym then you, also, can be inside the gym. I like to sometimes show up 30-60 minutes early to the first class of the day to work on some of the things I need to work on and I don't think I've ever seen someone not already at the gym when I've arrived. - People at the gym encourage and support hard work and recognize that we all can learn from each other. I can't count how many times I've been asked if I was staying for a second class, to the point that being able to stay for multiple classes became a training goal of mine. - Kru Rad has a well-defined training philosophy and he tells you exactly why we're doing things in a certain way. That consistency adds value to the gym because it allows you to set more informed goals for yourself as well as more effectively work with others who are training with you. - If you want to fight, Kru Rad will help you do so. If you don't want to fight or even spar, that's more than fine as well. Essentially, this gym is what you make of it if you're willing to put in the work.
